Nearly 40 House Democrats are arguing that recent social media posts from the Departments of Homeland Security and Labor echo Nazi language.
In a letter sent Wednesday, lawmakers led by Raja Krishnamoorthi urged Kristi Noem and Lori Chavez-DeRemer to conduct an internal review of the posts, which they described as �rooted in white nationalist and extremist propaganda.�
The controversy centers on messages published following the January shooting of activist Ren�e Good by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minneapolis. According to the lawmakers, U.S. Department of Homeland Security shared an image of a man riding a horse with the caption, �We�ll have our home again,� while promoting recruitment for ICE. The phrase, the letter notes, appears in a song linked to far-right groups, including the Proud Boys.
The U.S. Department of Labor also posted, �One Homeland. One People. One Heritage. Remember who you are, American� � language Democrats say closely mirrors the infamous Nazi slogan �One People, One Realm, One Leader.�
�The amplification of extremist-adjacent rhetoric from official government channels corrodes public trust,� the lawmakers wrote, warning that silence would signal tolerance for ideologies �the United States has fought wars to defeat.�
The departments have not yet publicly responded.
