Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has fired two top officials involved in a report that disputed President Donald Trump's arguments to use a wartime act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members to El Salvador.
Concretely, Gabbard fired Michael Collins, acting chair of the National Intelligence Council (NIC), and Maria Langan-Riekhof, his deputy. The Washington Post noted that Gabbard has said she is fighting against the politization of the intelligence community, but her actions suggest a purge of officials not aligned with Trump's agenda.
