What seems even worse: the apparent use of DHS to harass political enemies of the president — while also deflecting scrutiny from his GOP’s extremist sympathizers.

(That posture — deflection of scrutiny from the GOP’s extreme-right sympathizers — is consistent, as I argued last month, with a long-running pattern of Republican behavior.)

To amplify @fordm’s sage advice on what to do about DHS for the umpteenth time: we have to throw the whole department away. Send it’s component agencies back whence they came. newrepublic.com/article/147099…
