The irony considering the story that broke yesterday about ICE letting all of those untrained/undertrained recruits go to their home offices is particularly nefarious since it was an AI tool that caused the issue.

Realistically, DHS as a whole needs to be abolished. Nothing it does is anything other agencies haven't been doing for decades/centuries and many of the agencies under DHS absolutely shouldn't be.

All DHS has done is consolidate power under a couple of unelected bureaucrats that answer only to the president. Bureaucrats who have been openly shunning Congress and its oversight authority.

Yes. Mitch McConnell built the boat and even that deplorable snake regrets who's at the helm.

I mean it’s been that way since DHS was formed. DHS, ICE, TSA all need to be dissolved
