It’s all about the origin story. DHS was formed in a panic, out of a need for a grand political gesture, and without a clear mission. Me, in 2011: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/september-11-homeland-security-spending_n_953288 #dhs20

Today, on DHS's 20th anniversary, DWN is calling on Congress and #POTUS to cut funding to #ICE and #CBP shut down immigration detention centers and invest in our communities instead! #DefundHate #CommunitiesNotCages #DHS20 #Immigration

It’s time for Congress to stop funding agencies that waste taxpayer money + undermine our values. Instead of giving billions to ICE + CBP to jail immigrants, funds should be redirected to health care, education, housing + programs that benefit all of us. #DefundHate #DHS20 #DHSat20 #DHS #Immigration
