re: Director of FBI just named Acting Director of ATF

DEA is another that could easily be trimmed down and rolled up into the FBI, they also have a lot of overlap. DHS might be one of the only agencies that started with a specific purpose, and that purpose still has relevancy today outside of these other agencies.

While DHS has been watered down to include wholly domestic affairs, it's original intent would still be useful today. It needs a vast trimming down and a re-targeting of the intended goal. If all else fails and you want to rid DHS in its entirety too, it could easily be folded into the CIA and FBI as well though. If you closed down DHS, ICE/Border Patrol need to become their own whole agency. This needs to be the case anyway at this point.

There was one major case I worked in 2023 where I counted 7 different agencies and departments on site, and it was eye opening just how convoluted everything became because of it. Not to mention there was literally confusion on the ground and a dick measuring contest between Feds and State/local PD trying to determine who took presidence over the next guy, and the next guy, etc.

It only serves to make the process harder and less efficient, when it SHOULD be a well-oiled machine that works together to fight crime effectively and efficiently nationwide without barriers.
