Abolish DHS, and start with ICE and CBP. They are indisputably Trump's paramilitary goons

and thus, an active menace to the American people.

Fascists.

And the justification I'm hearing that what these Federal officers (who knows who the hell they are - Erik Prince's goons?) are doing is "normal". There may be a couple Federal officers protecting federal buildings, but DHS is talking about using them as troops well out of bounds of The Constitution. We need to push back against this tyranny.
