What if I told you some of us predicted this back in 2002?
"Since its founding in 2002, a combination of organizational flaws and mission creep has allowed D.H.S. to evolve into an out-of-control domestic security apparatus..., one that views the very people it is supposed to protect as threats, not humans."

If Chuck Schumer was dealt a full house he’d bet a nickel
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Nasra Ahmed, a 23-year-old US citizen, was arrested and detained by ICE. She was held for TWO DAYS.
ICE agents handcuffed her, called her a racial slur, and she was knocked to the ground so hard she got a concussion.
