Quick Summary

Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) has introduced the "Reimagining Safety Act," proposing to abolish the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in response to recent controversial actions such as the ICE shooting of Oscar Belgal and a raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home. The bill aims to replace DHS with a new Department of Community Safety, which would fund violence intervention programs instead of conducting immigration detentions and other duties currently handled by DHS. Ramirez argues that DHS has been used to persecute minority groups and dissenters since its establishment in 2001.

Story summary

Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) has introduced the "Reimagining Safety Act," aiming to abolish the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and end all immigration detentions in the U.S., following the recent shooting of Oscar Belgal by ICE agents in New York City's Bronx borough last week. Ramirez argues that DHS, established post-9/11, has been used to persecute various groups, including Muslims, Haitians, Latinos, and dissenters. The bill seeks to dismantle DHS entirely and replace it with a new Department of Community Safety, eliminating ICE and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) while preserving agencies like the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Ramirez’s legislation also calls for transferring certain customs and immigration functions to other federal departments. Co-sponsors include Reps. Rashida Tlaib, Adelita Grijalva, and Jim McGovern.
