After another shooting and the raid on Ilhan Omar's home, Rep. Delia Ramirez says abolishing ICE isn't enough. She has introduced a bill to "dismantle" the entire Department of Homeland Security.

The problem is what do you do with a bunch of poorly trained, low iq, unquestioning, ammoral, racist meatheads? They're not human enough to join society and are too unintelligent, fat and psychotic for real military operations unless it's just as cannon fodder to distract from real operations. 🤔

Homeland is a very Dubya coded word, a pathetic attempt to cover up for his massive security failure and 3000 American deaths in one day. Getting rid of DHS is another way of removing the stain of Dubya and his corrupt administration. You can’t disconnect Dubya from Trump.

Once upon a time there would have been a healthy number of Republicans who would support this on the grounds that DHS has too much power to invade our privacy and just because less government is good

Never gonna happen cause DHS & ICE have been 20+ yrs in the making by republicans. Bush & repuboicans created it after 9-11, & its been sitting silently in the background until someone came thru who would use it exactly like its being used. Not until control of all 3 levels of government are

DHS has been a failure since its inception. Its soiled record speaks for itself. Widespread corruption, nepotism, racism, Islamophobia, xenophobia, permeates the agency from the top /down.

Instead of defending the country from threats -- hackers, server farms from China and North Korea....they go after Americans....insane....

Server farms. That's what I was talking about. They pay Americans to put as many pc's as they can in their house so the pc has a U.S. IP address. And then they apply to companies as "U.S. Employees". All the while hacking into that company's system and stealing their data.....

A good start, but still wouldn’t be enough… Need to eliminate the apartheid infrastructure of national citizenship which is the wellspring of violence in the first place… No one should be in fear for their life because they aren’t “American enough” or lack “citizenship”

About time! The party of small government used 9-11 as cover to expand it immensely. All of the functions of DHS used to be handled by existing agencies. If DOGE had been a real thing instead of a scam, they’d have recommended shutting DHS down to save massive amounts of money!

It’s time… formed in reaction to the lacsk communication between agencies that allowed 9/11… it’s now been over 20 years. Our security apparatus needs to be overhauled… strictly from a security point of view. But more so that ICE has overshadowed the FBI in domestic federal law enforcement.

The communication issue was the justification, but that was a known issue being worked on during the Clinton years. The centralization and politicization was about power, not efficiency.

I think the agencies, at the time, had fairly strong individual leadership that created the appropriate balances during that power consolidation. So it took time and Trump exploiting to reveal the true danger of the consolidation. It needs to be overhauled, just from a security point of view.

And yes, there is now reason for ICE to remain as an agency. Revert back to Border and Customs being the primary border security. Lack of documentation should be handled through civil, rather than criminal, processes.
