DHS is a department created with the intention of being evil and removing freedoms. Before jumping to this massive power grab coup conclusion by potus, people really need to understand how bad DHS is. All the information is out there documenting their abuses of the freedoms of the citizens and noncitizens of the USA. It is not something new with the Trump administration. They routinely ignore courts, even the supreme court, and neither Bush nor Obama could keep them under control. Trump will also not be able to control them. While the Trump order gave them some latitude to run amok with their abuse, historically they have always abused their power and treated all people with distain.

DHS needs to be disbanded.

The Bush administration created the DHS.

Yes, which is why I listed him. It should underscore the problem with them being out of control when even the president who pushed for their creation couldn't curtail their abuses.
