Homeland security are the proto Brownshirts.

DHS has consistently characterized conservatives, gun owners, libertarians and veterans as the top domestic threat.
These guys will run (and are) internal checkpoints, border enforcement against citizens, abduction and disappearance of enemy combatants (anyone who opposes the government), and enforcement of martial law (high security events like the Superbowl).
We don’t need an Amerikan STASI, SS, or Gestapo.
We've already got it and need to get it defunded in toto before it gets operational.
