Jul 20, 2022 | Political News

The Department of Homeland Security has shut down the controversial Disinformation Governance Board after massive blowback from the public.

DHS announced the creation of the disinformation board in April in order to “coordinate countering misinformation related to homeland security, focused specifically on irregular migration and Russia.”

After months of outcry and criticism, the board was quietly shut down on Monday.
