Representative Delia Ramirez has introduced a bill called the Reimagining Safety Act that proposes abolishing the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). The legislation would repeal the Homeland Security Act of 2002, which established DHS in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, attacks. In place of DHS, the bill suggests creating a cabinet-level Department of Community Safety, intended to address issues such as gun violence and disaster relief through a public health approach. The bill also calls for the closure of the Guantánamo Bay military detention center.
The Reimagining Safety Act is cosponsored by Representatives Adelita Grijalva, Jim McGovern, and Rashida Tlaib. According to Truthout, which published the full report, Ramirez stated that DHS was established with an overbroad mission and unchecked power, calling it a threat to public safety. The bill also aims to repeal sections of the Immigration and Nationality Act related to designating foreign terrorist organizations and grounds for inadmissibility for noncitizens based on alleged terrorist affiliations, which could prevent deportations on these grounds.

9 rated outlets
- The right-rated reports from rvmnews.com, The Western Journal, wfmd.com, NRCC, Anadolu Ajansı, nytimespost.com, Fox News, realnewsnow.com, and The Post Millennial highlighted the bill's aim to abolish DHS, ICE, and CBP. Several reports, including those from wfmd.com, nytimespost.com, Fox News, and The Post Millennial, used phrases like 'shocking bill' or 'radical proposal' to describe the legislation. The NRCC report characterised the agenda as 'utterly insane' and warned of 'completely open borders' and 'dangerous criminals and deadly drugs flooding our communities.' Real News Now linked the bill's introduction to a federal raid on Rep. Ilhan Omar's home and a shooting in New York City. Anadolu Ajansı quoted Ramirez stating the department was 'founded out of a profound national trauma, established to violate our rights under the pretense of securing our security.'
