She has more guts than the entire democrat party in the house and senate

Out of curiosity, what do you want them to do?

They speak out, but most MSM in this country is owned by the billionaires and don't report it or back burner it. And republicans control Congress and block any attempts at accountability.

Remember when DHS wasn't funded? Dems put out no less than nine standalone bills to fund it and each time it was blocked by republicans because they wanted to give ICE more authority. Republicans also blocked legislation to release the Epstein files.

Dems agreed to increase funding to homeland security and ICE until Trump took control, then they were suddenly against it. They are not terrible, but they are not great either. Got to hold them accountable to mistakes, however they are CLEARLY the better choice for the American people rn.

Because Homeland Security under the rule of law is different from Homeland Security under Fascist dictator.

DHS has only existed for 2 decades and should be abolished

The departments that were consolidated into DHS existed long before that, so unless you're doing away with the enforcement services that make it up, it won't change much.

A lot of us warned against what they would become... along with the other few monsters created post 9/11

I remember being laughed at by my relatives when I said DHS and the PATRIOT/Homeland Security act gave a lot of power to the President and essentially just assumed no one would ever abuse it, but eventually someone would. Who's laughing now?! well not me because this is a nightmare.

Law enforcement will always abuse any power they are given. This is an important lesson for everyone, especially liberals who want to fund these agencies, to learn.

just the title "Homeland...." is very reminiscent of Nazi or Soviet rhetoric.

No it isn’t, it’s a fascist wing of the Administrative branch no matter who’s in charge. You don’t think homeland security was violating the rights of Americans before Trump? Have you ever heard of a guy called Edward Snowden?

Well, if you load the gun and hand it to the toddler, who's at fault?
