Aurora: $190k seized because brothers were drug suspects

So the big question in my mind is why is Homeland Security being handed over the money from drug arrests?
How interesting is it, that their sticky little fingers are in this piece of the pie and 119,000 small airplanes run around unnoticed or unmonitored by them?
Do any of us actually have any idea of what the official job description of Homeland Security really is?
Because at this point I don't mind admitting that I'm thoroughly confused by what that agency was specifically intended to be used for.

Aurora police were only involved in an intermediary fashion, Murphey said. After questioning Jesus Martinez at the Aurora police department and giving him a receipt for the money, Aurora police say they transferred the money that same night to the drug task force, which reported handing the money over the following day to the Department of Homeland Security.
