home affairs
Domestic policy matters
Home affairs refers to the internal matters of a nation—domestic policy, immigration, public safety, and civil administration as distinct from foreign relations.
Many countries have a Ministry or Department of Home Affairs handling these functions: The Home Affairs committee reviewed the new visa regulations.
In casual use, home affairs can mean the private business of a household.
