WASHINGTON — The Department of Homeland Security is moving to fire 12 employees of a federal cybersecurity agency that policed “misinformation” while pausing “all elections security activities” pending further review of free-speech implications, The Post has learned.
The dozen staffers at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) previously were placed on leave — as President Trump’s team works to make good on his campaign-trail vow to punish officials who regulated Americans’ political commentary.
“CISA has completed an initial review of its election security mission with a particular focus on work related to mis-, dis-, and malinformation in accordance with Executive Order 14149, Restoring Freedom of Speech and Ending Federal Censorship,” a senior DHS official told The Post.
“The agency is taking appropriate actions regarding employees found to have participated in these activities.”
