Trump Shuts Down DHS Civil Rights Office as Deportations Spark Outrage

The Department of Homeland Security has closed a key office, as Donald Trump faces growing backlash over his deportations.
@SteveThompson DHS never gave a shit about civil rights anyway, good they stop pretending. First step in closing the whole department. Never should have been created.
It's the symbolism that counts here. DHS is ramping up, despite recent cuts. It's on steroids with Kristi Noem at the helm. And it won't be strong enough to keep Russia out when the time comes.
@SteveThompson from it's very creation, DHS has been about protecting the government from its own citizens. DHS is not equipped or prepared to secure this country against a foreign threat because it's never been a substantial part of its mission.
