DHS Terminates All Advisory Committee Members on January 20, 2025, to Address Resource Misuse and Refocus on National Security
Jan 21, 2025, 10:25 PM
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has terminated all members of its advisory committees, effective immediately, according to a letter dated January 20, 2025, signed by Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman. The move is intended to address the 'misuse of resources' and refocus the department's efforts on national security. The advisory committees affected include those providing advice on emergency preparedness, telecommunications, science and technology, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. The letter also mentioned that dismissed members are welcome to reapply to DHS in the future, though it remains unclear which committees might be reconstituted with new members.
