WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, following its victory in disbanding the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) “Homeland Intelligence Experts Group,” America First Legal (AFL) is releasing the fifth tranche of the group’s internal meeting notes, exclusively obtained from litigation. This is the fifth installment of #DeepStateDiaries, a multi-part series of releases including newly obtained documents.
From the day President Biden took power, he has mobilized the national security state to support its censorship program. In June 2021, the Biden Administration’s National Security Council published its first-ever “National Strategy for Countering Domestic Terrorism,” a 32-page plan that outlined their whole-of-government effort to work with Big Tech, state and local governments, non-profits, and others to censor political speech and surveil political dissent.
AFL has been investigating the Administration’s implementation of this “Domestic Surveillance Strategy” since 2021, including filing a lawsuit against DHS to compel the release of records relating to how DHS uses its intelligence capabilities to target conservative Americans.
Today, AFL’s litigation against the DHS Intelligence Experts Group has obtained never before released documents exposing that the Biden Administration published a classified implementation plan to accompany their public-facing 2021 Domestic Surveillance Strategy.
This classified plan has not been reported publicly until today. No one in the general public knows what’s in it, what it directs departments and agencies to do, or the scope of agencies involved with it.
This is not the first time AFL has discovered the Biden Administration using classified systems to target political dissent. In January 2023, AFL’s lawsuit against the CDC uncovered that the CDC partnered with the State Department, USAID, the Census Bureau, and others on an NSC classified call to discuss censoring so-called “disinformation.”
Stay tuned for the next installment of #DeepStateDiaries…
In the first installment, AFL released documents showing how the group proposed expanding DHS’s reach into local communities in an “ambiguous” and “non-threatening” way and contemplating ways to get teachers and mothers to report their children.
In the second installment, AFL showed how the Biden Administration proposed using military, religious, and even political (Trump supporters) affiliations to tag Americans as prone to committing violent attacks.
In the third installment, AFL revealed how the Biden administration’s allies on the Brennan-Clapper committee discussed using January 6 and the manufactured raid at Mar-a-Lago to justify further targeting and surveillance of political dissent.
In the fourth installment, AFL revealed how the Brennan-Clapper intel committee admits the existence of a Deep State that works “quietly” to “make democracy work” in the face of “domestic terrorism threats,” or in their eyes – “supporters of the former president.”
