The Biden administration has fired 32 members of the Homeland Security Advisory Council, according to a letter to members of the council obtained by POLITICO.

A letter Friday from DHS secretary Alejandro Mayorkas told members that he has ended the “terms of current HSAC members effective March 26, 2021.”

“I am considering how the HSAC can bring the greatest value to the Department and how the expertise, judgment, and counsel of its members can be harnessed most effectively to advance the Department’s mission,” he wrote. “I expect to work closely with the HSAC and to rely on its Members to help guide the Department through a period of change.”

He said he would reconstitute the council in the next few weeks as he transitions to a new model for the committee. He thanked the members of the council for their service.

1. Abolishing DHS would bring the greatest value.

The intelligence failures that occurred around 9/11 were political and not institutional.

8. Can't risk any fascist traitors having access to sensitive information.

Everything the former guy touched must be sanitized to prevent fascist infection.

9. Let the elimination be permanent

How many government agencies are there that provide no real benefit to the nation? Perhaps there should be a "cull list" of government agencies not providing value for money. And every year agencies consistently on the list get eliminated. Obviously, it will be political in nature, but it will balance out.
