DHS accuses Hilton of canceling ICE hotel stays The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) social media presence is quite something nowadays.

Along those lines, a reader asked me a question that I think I’ve never addressed, so let me answer that here. In particular, I’m curious if my approach differs from that of others.
