- Loaded language — Strong characterizations are present, primarily attributed to DHS and reflected in the headline.

Rep. Delia Ramirez is pushing the Reimagining Safety Act, which would create a Department of Community Safety while dismantling DHS in its current form. The article says the proposal would preserve some agencies and customs functions, abolish ICE and Customs and Border Protection, and begin creating a separate civil immigration system.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin called the proposal radical and said DHS would not be dismantled. A department spokesperson argued that Ramirez should thank law enforcement for removing dangerous criminals and cited an increase in assaults against officers, while DHS also supplied examples of people arrested in Illinois. Ramirez said Americans have reason to rethink DHS and accused Mullin and the department of spreading lies and fear.
