"The problem with DHS isn't Noem or Mullin or whoever else will run it. The problem is with the agency itself. Some aspects of the disarray are long-standing. FEMA's capacity has been severely degraded. TSA seems to have its own internal chaos, terminating and then reinstating PreCheck within 48 hours."
"Under Donald Trump, ICE and Border Patrol have become rogue agencies, accused of unnecessary violence and disregard for the rule of law. In January alone, ICE violated more court orders than most federal agencies violate in their entire existence, according to a federal judge in Minnesota."
"The answer to such abuses is not reform; it is wholesale disassembly and restructuring. More than two decades ago, shortly after American soil was attacked for the first time since Pearl Harbor, the department was founded to prevent another such attack."
DHS faces significant internal issues, including a degraded FEMA and chaotic TSA operations. Under Trump, ICE and Border Patrol have acted with violence and lawlessness, violating court orders and adopting unconstitutional policies. The situation has led to numerous deaths in ICE custody. Reform is insufficient; a complete restructuring of the agency is necessary. DHS was established to enhance homeland security post-9/11, but its current state reflects a failure to fulfill that mission effectively.
