The intelligence unit of the Massachusetts Air National Guard where alleged leaker Jack Teixeira worked "is not currently doing its mission," according to a Pentagon official.
One of the Air Force's real time intelligence centers, which takes in live feeds from surveillance aircraft around the world, has been taken offline. Similar intelligence units located around the U.S. will have to take up the slack.
