Homeland Security Cyber Personnel Reassigned to Jobs in Trump’s Deportation Push

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has reassigned hundreds of national security specialists, including cyber personnel, to jobs supporting President Trump's deportation efforts. This shift of resources has raised concerns among current and former DHS employees, who claim that anyone refusing to comply with the reassignment will be dismissed. The move comes as the Trump administration prioritizes immigration enforcement, diverting personnel from their original national security roles to tasks related to deportations. This reallocation of resources has sparked criticism, as it may compromise the department's ability to address pressing cybersecurity threats and other national security challenges. The article highlights the tension between the administration's immigration agenda and the need to maintain a robust national security apparatus, including a strong cybersecurity workforce. It underscores the potential impact of political priorities on the allocation of resources within government agencies responsible for protecting the nation's security.
