The U.S. Department of Homeland Security flag waves outside the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building as seen on January 07, 2026 in Washington, DC. According to reports, a federal agent allegedly fatally shot a woman in her car during an incident in south Minneapolis.

DHS was originally conceived in the interest of unity and harmony — and the phrase “homeland security” was originally meant to be reassuring.
