Please consider voting for Chica on @tsa’s Instagram story for no other reason then to make the DHS Secretary have to celebrate the same breed of dog she shot and killed.

Oh perfect, because if there’s one agency drowning in free time and resources, it’s the Secret Service. Protecting the President, VP, foreign heads of state, embassies, and running details wasn’t enough—so let’s tack on DC police duties too. Brilliant plan.

I’ve traveled with the President. There’s a whole team that stands up secure printers and sets up suites as offices, on secured floors. Using a hotel business center printer isn’t just sloppy—it’s malpractice by the advance and protocol teams.

ICE has new marked vehicles… and they’re sporting the same paint job as Trump’s personal jet. Subtle.

As of June 1, nearly 25% of the people arrested by ICE in the interior and sent to detention had NO CRIMINAL RECORD.

I worked at DHS. I’ve seen the job done with integrity. This? It’s cruelty as content — posted by the official DHS account. This administration is out of control, and it’s going to take years to undo the damage they’ve done to the mission, the agency, and the people we serve.

This isn’t a spend plan—it’s a shopping spree. While Coasties fix ships with duct tape, Noem’s ordering her second Gulfstream like she’s replacing a stolen handbag. DHS under MAGA is less about homeland security, more about homeland celebrity.

Not sure why the other site won’t let me share this, but here’s a quick thread debunking the Veep’s fearmongering this morning—with citations.
The undocumented population isn’t 20M. Due process is the law. ICE can’t just deport millions overnight. And fentanyl? Mostly smuggled by U.S. citizens.

This premise is fundamentally incorrect. The CHNV process was a legal pathway established to create safe, orderly, and humane migration for Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans. Individuals who arrived through this program were thoroughly vetted, had sponsors in the US

Trump's DHS is trying to distract from the fact that they have not delivered on the level of deportation numbers they promised. The fact is that DHS produces regular reports and makes data available in several tables and dashboards that shows these claims are false.
