Legit question, not trying to bait or criticize: how many cases of espionage do you think DHS and ICE are actually successfully investigating and preventing? My gut feeling as a US citizen who pays a reasonable amount of attention to the news is “not many” but I honestly haven’t considered it
DHS and ICE officers don’t do shit about it but the DHS and ICE office-workers work compiling lists of people and that work would need to continue even if the rest of the organization were shut down.
AFAIK that task is not done by any other department, currently.
We do need to also do something to shut down the Trump admin and Republican push to force Police Departments to provide a database of people who don’t have identification to the DHS, though. The reason being that this would interfere with criminal investigation and court proceedings.
