Trump's DHS Terminates All Advisory Committee Members Under Benjamine Huffman's Leadership
Jan 21, 2025, 10:25 PM
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has terminated all members of its advisory committees, as announced in a letter dated January 20, 2025, and signed by Acting Secretary Benjamine Huffman. The decision, effective immediately, aims to address the 'misuse of resources' and refocus the department's efforts on national security under the Trump administration. The advisory committees affected include those providing guidance on emergency preparedness, telecommunications, science and technology, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity. The future of these committees remains uncertain, though Huffman indicated that dismissed members are welcome to reapply.
