Noem’s Polygraph Witch Hunt: Junk Science Targets Homeland Security Leaks
To combat leaks hindering immigration enforcement, DHS Secretary Noem mandated inclusion of a question regarding unauthorized media and NGO communication in all departmental polygraph tests. This directive, impacting access to classified information and sensitive positions, follows accusations that leaks disrupted operations in Colorado and California. The policy is part of a wider crackdown on employee communications within DHS, mirroring similar restrictions implemented by FEMA. While DHS defends the use of polygraphs, critics cite concerns regarding their reliability and accuracy.
