Overview

  • On June 26, 2025, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem terminated the Invent2Prevent program, effective immediately.
  • Originally launched in 2021 under the Biden administration to prevent school terror and violence, the program was later contracted to groups that shaped its curriculum toward DEI and LGBTQ+ issues.
  • DHS estimates the cancellation will save the agency more than $1.5 million in taxpayer funds.
  • The Invent2Prevent website now carries an archived content banner warning that its materials are outdated.
  • The move implements President Trump’s January executive order to dismantle perceived wasteful or partisan DEI programs across the federal government.
