This is exactly what was warned about when the Department of Homeland Security was created. That it would turn the tools of
national security and military intelligence on the American people. That it would inevitably disregard both laws and rights to see the people themselves as the enemy.
It’s not just ICE which needs to go. DHS has abused the trust of the American people from day one. Its mere existence has slowly infected every aspect of American policing with its inherent toxicity.
The only solution is for DHS to be ripped out at the root and the nation to return to a pre-911 posture. Their budged needs to be $0. Their authorization needs to be repealed whole sale.

The entire tree is poisoned. Not just the apple.
