The Department of Homeland Security should be abolished. It has totally and completely failed in its mission, a kind of Frankenstein that has turned against us. #AbolishDHS

DHS was never “for us” in the first place.

What are the names of the missing political protesters who were rounded up by Trumps shock troops and disappeared? Are there any people who fit this description? Who are they so we can support legal action to free them? Or is this just a made up nerd fantasy?

Much more importantly, throw out the Patriot Act/NDAA!!!!!! It was Obama who undid habeas corpus, who extended indefinite detention without trial, who droned “folks” and bragged about it!

If a system not working/corrupt it doesn't mean u have to abolish that. All u need to do is reform it through a democratic process. If you will try to abolish every system which isn't working properly around the world then u have to abolish "Democracy" in the 1st place. ✌️

DHS should never have been created in the first place. The "Patriot" Act should have died on Capitol Hill. And corporate Democrats should be pelted with rotting produce for reauthorizing said act, and expanding its powers.

HS is now an important dept. Other gov depts have been closed by this admin, some of the best of those gov employees moved into HS. Some duties absorbed. It’s not what it began as. Homeland Security is not against us. The administration is.

So we abolish the Coast Guard, FEMA, USCIS because one arm of the DHS needs to be held accountable for their actions? Look, I’m all for discussion, but all these sweeping abolish this and defund that is just anger masquerading as being helpful. 🤷🏻‍♀️

The the disengenuous name itself "Homeland Security" is an attempt to conjure a folksy Americana front.
