The Democrats’ Lunatic Scheme to Gut DHS and Turn America into a Borderless Free-for-All

The radical left is at it again, cooking up a plot so bat-crap crazy it makes their past idiocies look like child’s play. Ilhan Omar, that firebrand from Minnesota who’s never met a federal agency she didn’t want to nuke, spilled the beans at a town hall on February 18, 2026: Democrats aren’t content with just abolishing ICE—they’re scheming to dismantle the entire Department of Homeland Security. Yeah, you heard that right. The whole enchilada, from border patrols to disaster response, straight into the trash bin. And they’re not just yapping about it; they’ve got bills, demands, and a partial government shutdown to prove they’re dead serious. If these clowns succeed, say goodbye to secure borders, hello to chaos, and watch as the America First gains we’ve clawed back evaporate like a bad dream. But let’s dive deep into this mess, because forewarned is forearmed, and we’ve got to stop this insanity before it turns our country into a third-world welcome mat.

Omar Drops the Bombshell: Abolish ICE? Nah, Let’s Torch the Whole DHS

It all kicked off amid the Trump administration’s no-nonsense immigration crackdown in Minnesota, where federal agents were rounding up criminal aliens and deporting them faster than you can say “secure the border.” But things got ugly when two protesters—Renee Good on January 10, 2026, and Alex Pretti on January 24, 2026—were fatally shot during clashes with agents. Cue the outrage machine. Omar, who’s been a thorn in America’s side since she hit Congress in 2019, didn’t waste time. On January 28, 2026, she demanded the impeachment of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and flat-out called for abolishing ICE, screaming that the “moment demands it.” But she didn’t stop there. At that February 18 town hall, Omar revealed the real game: “There is a lot of conversation about what the dismantlement of the Department of Homeland Security should look like.” Easier chats now than seven years ago, she bragged, about scrapping ICE entirely. And she’s not alone—fellow radicals like Delia Ramirez from Illinois are echoing the call, insisting abolishing ICE isn’t enough; DHS must go because it was “built to violate our rights.” These aren’t fringe whispers; they’re mainstream Democrat plotting, fueled by the Minnesota mayhem and a broader push to hamstring Trump’s enforcement agenda.

The Bills from the Abyss: Defund, Dismantle, and Destroy

Democrats aren’t just talking tough; they’ve got legislation locked and loaded. On January 15, 2026, Shri Thanedar from Michigan dropped H.R. 7123, the Abolish ICE Act, which straight-up terminates ICE within 90 days, yanks its funding, and rescinds any leftover cash. No plan for what happens next—just poof, gone. Then, on January 21, 2026, Ramirez and Yvette Clarke from New York unveiled the Melt ICE Act, a real gut-punch that strikes all authority for immigrant detention from federal law, ends every detention contract within two years, bans new ones, and forces DHS to yank ankle monitors off thousands. Oh, and it redirects ICE’s budget to “community-based organizations” for housing and healthcare handouts. Basically, it cripples ICE’s ability to hold or deport anyone, turning enforcement into a joke. These bills are the blueprint for the bigger play: dismantling DHS piece by piece. Ramirez flat-out said it—melt ICE and take down DHS entirely. And with support skyrocketing—a Civiqs poll from early February 2026 shows 43% of Americans now back abolishing ICE, up from 19% in late 2024, and a whopping 70% of Democrats on board—the radicals smell blood. They’re using these proposals to rally the base, ignoring that DHS oversees everything from FEMA’s disaster aid to the Secret Service’s protection details.

The Shutdown Sham: Holding Security Hostage for Radical Reforms

To force their agenda, Democrats triggered a partial government shutdown on February 14, 2026, by blocking the DHS funding bill. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries laid out their “demands” on January 28, 2026: No more masks for agents (so radicals can dox them easier), mandatory judicial warrants for every arrest (hello, sanctuary city steroids), a new code of conduct with independent probes for violations, stricter use-of-force rules, and bans on tracking protesters or detaining anyone without verifying citizenship first. They spun off DHS funding from the rest of the government’s spending package, vowing no deal without these “reforms” to “rein in ICE.” As of February 20, 2026, the shutdown’s dragging on, leaving TSA screeners, Coast Guard heroes, and FEMA workers unpaid and furloughed—while ICE and CBP chug along on separate funding from last year’s big bill. It’s pure political theater: Democrats claim they’re protecting “communities” from “violence,” but really, they’re sabotaging enforcement to keep the borders porous. Omar vowed “not to give ICE a single cent,” and progressives like Ro Khanna are piling on with resolutions to “end ICE abuse.” This isn’t negotiation; it’s extortion, using a shutdown to chip away at DHS until it’s weak enough to dismantle.

If These Idiots Win: Open Borders, Terrorist Free Passes, and National Suicide

Now, the nightmare scenario: What happens if Democrats get their way and DHS crumbles? First off, borders? What borders? Without ICE and CBP, criminal aliens, fentanyl pushers, and got-aways flood in unchecked— we’re talking millions more on top of the 10 million-plus who’ve already invaded under Biden. No detention means catch-and-release on steroids; no enforcement means sanctuaries everywhere. Terrorism? DHS handles that too—scrapping it hands a win to cartels and jihadis who’d love to see our cybersecurity, intelligence sharing, and counter-terror ops in shambles. FEMA? Kiss goodbye to quick disaster relief; we’ve seen hurricanes and wildfires ravage states, and without DHS coordination, recovery turns into a clown show. The Secret Service? TSA? Coast Guard? All scattered or starved, leaving airports vulnerable, presidents exposed, and coasts undefended. Economically, it’s a gut-shot: Businesses crippled by unchecked illegals undercutting wages, taxpayers footing billions for “community services” handouts. And security? America becomes a soft target, inviting attacks we could’ve prevented. From an America First view, this is treasonous stupidity—dismantling the shield that keeps us safe just to pander to open-borders zealots. We’ve finally got a president enforcing the law, deporting threats, and restoring order after years of Democrat sabotage. Letting these radicals win means reversing it all, turning the greatest nation into a lawless mess.

Time to Fight Back: America First Means No Surrender to the Radicals

Folks, this DHS demolition derby isn’t some pie-in-the-sky fantasy; it’s happening now, with bills on the table, a shutdown in play, and Omar bragging about the “conversations” to make it real. Democrats are betting they can ride the Minnesota outrage wave to gut our security apparatus, but they’re dead wrong if they think real Americans will stand for it. We’ve got to call out this crap, pressure the spineless Republicans to hold the line, and remind everyone that secure borders and strong enforcement are non-negotiable. If we let these lunatics succeed, it’s game over for the America we love. But if we fight like hell, we can crush this plot and keep building the wall—literally and figuratively. Stay vigilant, patriots; the radicals are coming for our homeland, and it’s up to us to send them packing.
