A proposal to dismantle the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is gathering momentum after Rep. Delia Ramirez confirmed she is drafting legislation to break apart the department, saying she has already discussed the plan with several Democratic colleagues ahead of introducing a bill next year.
Ramirez, the top Democrat on the House Homeland Security Committee's cybersecurity subcommittee, said preliminary legislative language is being prepared for what would become the most significant overhaul of DHS since it was established after the September 11 attacks.
