Intel arm of DHS defends office amid GOP senator's criticism
CBSN
The Department of Homeland Security's intelligence arm hit back at Senator Marsha Blackburn's allegations this week, after she accused DHS of trying to police Americans' speech and thoughts.
"As members of the Intelligence Community, we continue to maintain a special public trust to execute our mission with honor and integrity," the memo circulated to DHS personnel operating within the Office of Intelligence & Analysis and obtained by CBS News read.
On Tuesday, Senator Blackburn's office sent a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas begrudging the department's latest NTAS bulletin, which urges Americans to report "potential threats" online and "maintain digital and media literacy to recognize and build resilience to false or misleading narratives."
