Just as ICE and CBP have no legitimate role in "election security" neither does the head of DHS. The mere existence of this press conference should be a scandal, much less this tone-deaf comment.

You know why it's so chilling? Because he's masked. Which is why law enforcement should not be allowed, except in extreme circumstances, like dealing with cartels/mafia, to cover their faces.

My Mom grew up in Germany in the 30s and 40s. She was in an all girls school with 30 or so other girls in her class. One day, she noticed several of her classmates were missing. They were the Jewish girls. She was one of only 4 who survived the war after her city was destroyed.
