The Department of Homeland Security shut down its office in charge of investigating civil rights complaints on Friday.
DHS closed its Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, which was created along with the department in 2002 to advise leadership on civil rights and liberties and to investigate agency complaints on everything from disaster response to immigration enforcement. Its 90 employees were told they will be paid through May 23.
There’s no word on whether the functions of the office will be transferred elsewhere, or what will happen to its $22 million in funding. But it comes as no surprise, considering the Trump administration’s efforts to reduce or eliminate oversight and civil rights offices in other departments. The civil rights division in the Justice Department, for example, has been directed to serve conservative culture-war aims, and much of its other work has been frozen.

Who needs to support racism.
My guess is that there are Civil Rights Offices imbedded in hundreds of Departments.
Commissars or political officers
50 years ago every Air Force base had one paid for by the American taxpayers...
It was called Social Actions Office and only catered to black servicemen and women...
Whites were turned away...
Several obamajudges and bidenjudges just soiled themselves over this.
Deportations do not spark outrage, they spark celebrations and gratitude.
The DOJ has a civil rights department, one isn’t needed in DHS
