The White House has requested that Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) resign by the end of January 2025, as reported by Reuters on January 23, 2025. This move is part of a broader effort to ensure a smooth transition and to align the board's composition with the incoming administration's priorities.

The White House's decision comes amidst ongoing debates about surveillance, data privacy, and civil liberties, especially in light of recent technological advancements and security threats.
