Judge Disbands Biden's DHS Intelligence Group Led by 'Hoaxers'

[Everlasting Life]

So, this feels like I'm reading fake good news from the Babylon Bee but this seems to be real.

Apparently the FACA act was violated. This act, among other things : ".....governs the operation of federal advisory committees and emphasizes public involvement through open meetings and reporting. Except in certain statutorily defined circumstances, all FACA committee meetings must be open to the public. Meetings must be announced in the Federal Register. Reports, transcripts, working papers, and other materials made available to or prepared for or by the committees must be made available to the public....." -- https://www.epa.gov/laws-regulations/summary-federal-advisory-committee-act

I'm surmising that perhaps things were not out in the open as the FACA act requires, (with a few exceptions, refer to the link above) as meeting agendas and minutes are being required .



As a result of the Federal Judge's order:

The Experts Group shall be wound down within thirty (30) days of the entry of
the Order, it will not hold any future meetings, and the Department will not
reconstitute the Experts Group inconsistent with the FACA or the Homeland Security
Act of 2002. The Department will also provide the Experts Group meeting agendas
and meeting minutes with participant identifying information redacted within fifteen
(15) days of the entry of the Order. -- https://media.aflegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03191240/23-Joint-Dismissal.pdf



Here's the Newsmax article:

America First Legal (AFL) and former President Donald Trump's acting Director of National Intelligence Ric Grenell have hailed "victory" over the partisan and biased Department of Homeland Security Intelligence Group led by "Letter of 51" Obama officials and "Russia collusion hoaxers John Brennan and James Clapper."

"The Biden Admin will dissolve & disband its unlawful DHS Intelligence Experts Group stacked with deep state partisans like James Clapper and John Brennan following our lawsuit with @RichardGrenell," former Trump White House official Stephen Miller's AFL hailed in Truth Social post Friday.

"They are also turning over their internal docs to our possession."

A judge ordered President Joe Biden's deeply criticized "disinformation" group within 30 days and provide former Trump White House official Stephen Miller's AFL access to documents and records within 15 days.

...."DHS just surrendered because they knew the America First Legal team was right, and Biden’s team broke the law."

This is the second illegal Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) violation the Biden administration has agreed to disband following a lawsuit filed by AFL. In December 2022, the Department of Education disbanded its illegal Parents Council following legal action brought by AFL on behalf of its clients, Parents Defending Education and Fight for Schools and Families.

.....Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Rick Scott, R-Fla., Ron Johnson, R-Wis., and Roger Marshall, R-Kan., wrote in a letter to Mayorkas for the "DHS immediately rescind the appointments of these known purveyors of disinformation to the Homeland Intelligence Experts Group."

Mayorkas did not heed the GOP warning, forcing Grenell and AFL to sue, earning Friday's ultimate victory.....

Not sure how much this will do as the legal document says:

Based on these representations, Plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss their lawsuit
with prejudice. Further, the Department reserves its right to create an advisory
committee under the provisions of the FACA, including the authorization to exempt
that advisory committee from the public notice, reporting, and open meeting
requirements of FACA pursuant to the Homeland Security Act of 2002, section 871(a)
(6 U.S.C. section 451(a)). -- https://media.aflegal.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/03191240/23-Joint-Dismissal.pdf
