"The short history of DHS has been filled with violence, the stoking of fear and a lack of oversight. The department’s horrific tactics are being used in cities across the country," ACLU Executive Director Anthony Romero said in a USA Today op-ed. The ACLU has already sued DHS over tactics they say were "terrorizing the community, risking lives, and brutally attacking protesters." "Dismantling DHS, breaking it apart into various federal agencies, and shrinking its allocation of federal dollars will allow for more effective oversight, accountability and public transparency," he said. One of the primary concerns after 9/11 was a lack of communication between various federal agencies prior to the attack.
