South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem Uncovers Thousands of Documents on DHS Censorship

DHS Involvement in Censorship

• 💡 Governor Kristi Noem stated that thousands of documents have been uncovered, proving the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was involved in censorship and policing speech.
• 🎯 This contradicts previous testimony from Secretary Mayorkas, who repeatedly denied any government involvement in censorship or that CISA was engaged in such activities.
• 📌 Noem indicated these documents will be unveiled to the committee to expose the actions of CISA employees.

Reforming CISA and Risky Research Review Act

• 🚀 The discussion touched upon getting CISA back on its intended mission and potential staff reductions due to employees engaging in inappropriate work.
• 🔬 Noem highlighted the Risky Research Review Act, a bipartisan bill that would establish a presidential commission of scientists to continuously define what constitutes gain-of-function research.
• ✅ This legislation has bipartisan support and aims to make permanent measures to constrain gain-of-function research, regardless of future administrations.
