Kristi Noem’s departure from the DHS won’t mean an end to agency’s violent tactics

The departure of key figures from the DHS, including Kristi Noem, may signal a shift in leadership but does not necessarily indicate a change in the agency's operational ethos. The lack of oversight and accountability within the DHS raises critical questions about the effectiveness of any new leadership in curbing violent enforcement tactics. As long as the agency remains shielded from scrutiny, its controversial practices are likely to persist, regardless of who is at the helm.
