In a series of controversial moves, the Trump administration has dismantled multiple agencies and offices within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that focused on civil rights, oversight, and immigrant advocacy. This includes the closure of three internal watchdog agencies and the purging of civil rights offices, leading to widespread criticism from civil rights organizations and advocates. The DHS claims that these offices impeded government operations, yet many see this as a dangerous erosion of oversight and accountability in immigration enforcement. The cuts have sparked outrage amid ongoing deportations and raised concerns about the protection of civil rights within the department.
