DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Defends Massive Change for Exposed Anti-Free Speech Agency
10th May 2025
A Democratic representative mourned a huge change to a government agency responsible for massive censorship. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem put him in his place.
Rep. Ed Case (D-HI) went after Noem during a House Appropriations Committee hearing on Tuesday, criticizing President Donald Trump’s proposed $491 million funding cut for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). In response, Noem told Case that the DHS would stop wasting money and funding censorship.
“We have focused on making sure that we’re going forward with a Department of Homeland Security that focuses on what our mission is and that is to secure America’s homeland and do that while being accountable to taxpayers,” Noem said.
She added, “So every single component I have—23 different departments—we’ve gone back to their mission statement and what they were intended to do and put them back on mission. So in CISA instead of doing censorship, misinformation [and] disinformation, they’re back to securing our critical infrastructure.”
