CISA loses nearly all top officials as purge continues


Most of the leaders of the agency’s operating divisions and regional offices have left or will leave this month amid the Trump administration’s aggressive government-downsizing campaign.

Five of CISA’s six operational divisions and six of its 10 regional offices will have lost top leaders by the end of the month, the agency’s new deputy director, Madhu Gottumukkala, informed employees in an email on Thursday. The exits of these leaders could undermine the efficiency and strategic clarity of CISA’s partnerships with critical infrastructure operators, private security firms, foreign allies, state governments and local emergency managers, experts say. These regional supervisors and the teams who report to them have played an important role in expanding CISA’s nationwide presence, improving its partners’ awareness of the services it offers and boosting its reputation as a reliable source of expertise and support.
