From the Daily Caller: A watchdog group filed suit against the Department of Homeland Security Friday in an effort to force the agency to respond to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request regarding a task force set up to combat alleged “election threats” in Pennsylvania.
Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania announced the formation of the “Election Threats Task Force” in a Feb. 29 release, claiming it would provide “trusted election information” and “mitigate threats” to elections. The Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) says the Department of Homeland Security acknowledged its request seeking information on Pennsylvania’s collaboration with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), but claims it has received no documents or contact since then, according to court documents provided first to the Daily Caller News Foundation.
CASA’s FOIA request came following a March report by The Federalist that the Shapiro administration was collaborating with CISA as part of the task force, something not explicitly stated in Shapiro’s Feb. 29 release.
“In March, the Center to Advance Security in America (CASA) submitted a FOIA request to DHS-CISA in order to uncover communications related to the creation of the Pennsylvania Election Task Force, which is designed to censor election-related speech that it deems as ‘misinformation’. CISA is yet to respond to CASA’s request,” CASA Director James Fitzpatrick told the DCNF.
CASA Director James Fitzpatrick told the Daily Caller, “CASA filed this FOIA request to DHS 145 days ago. We are now 80 days from the election, and the public still has not seen the communications on the creation of this task force, which may be empowered to potentially censor election-related speech in the top battleground state in America.”
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) had sounded the alarm and demanded information about the program in the battleground state of Pennsylvania back in March.

Pennsylvania was one of the battleground states where vote counting was suddenly paused on the night of the 2020 election – when then-President Donald Trump was leading by a wide margin. Hours later, voting resumed, and the numbers took a major turn. Joe Biden was ultimately declared the winner.

“I like Trump. I think he’s done a lot for our country. I know some people may not like him because of certain things he said, but we need to look more at the policies. I don’t like Harris as a candidate” pic.twitter.com/DYqqxGaavX
