In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Congress established the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to protect the country from future threats. While the primary goal of the DHS is to ensure national security, there have consistently been huge concerns regarding infringements on democratic principles and civil liberties which Rieckhoff pointedly failed to discuss. One of the major concerns with the DHS is the potential violation of civil liberties in the name of national security. Measures such as increased surveillance, warrantless wiretapping, and the collection of personal data have raised concerns about the erosion of privacy rights. Scores of critics have argued that these practices undermine the democratic principle of individual freedom and protection from unreasonable searches and seizures guaranteed by the Fourth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. Another democracy concern with the DHS is the issue of transparency and accountability. The department operates in a complex web of agencies and has expanded its powers significantly since its inception. This has led to a lack of clarity regarding the extent of its authority and the mechanisms in place to ensure oversight and accountability. The lack of transparency raises questions about the potential abuse of power and limits citizens' ability to hold the DHS accountable for its actions. And this guy wants to expand this kind of power -- specifically to target 'wrong-thinking' Americans. What a Nazi.

We need the same kind of tectonic shift [against American right-wing threats].” pic.twitter.com/Br76pjvhDW
