Attack on HSA Disinformation Board

This uses the term "ministry of truth" to completely misrepresent the goals of this organization, which was intended to protect national security by disseminating guidance to DHS agencies on combating foreign misinformation, malinformation, and disinformation.

Specific problem areas mentioned by the DHS include false information propagated by human smugglers encouraging migrants to surge to the Mexico–United States border, as well as Russian-state disinformation on election interference and the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

On May 18, the board and its working groups were "paused" pending review, and board head Nina Jankowicz resigned, as a result of public backlash, mostly from the political right.
