The Department of Homeland Security establishes task force to protect monuments, memorials and statues

The Department of Homeland Security announced a new task force Wednesday centered on protecting"American monuments, memorials and statues."

"DHS is answering the President's call to use our law enforcement personnel across the country to protect our historic landmarks," said Chad Wolf, acting Secretary of Homeland Security, in a news release. The Protecting American Communities Task Force will coordinate the DHS response, which may include assessing any potential unrest or deploying personnel, according to the press release.

The colosseum was built by slaves and was where nearly 60,000 gladiators died, most of which were slaves. Will they try to take this away next? History is gruesome and full of the wrongdoings of man. Which is why is so important to preserve. dekgeo History

For a few more months, till Biden gets elected.

ConfederateMonuments are TraitorsOfAmerica

realDonaldTrump

But they can’t seem to be able to protect live humans from covid19.

What the actual F&%

Meanwhile, 13,400 employees were furloughed. Stone Humans

GOOD!!!!

I wish they would have protected the children they put cages like that! I wish they would have stood and protected the innocent lives that have been lost at the hands of friends.......Statues matter more than human life..smh

How about our democracy?

...but DHS doesnt have money to pay employees who grant immigration and citizenship benefits. Got it. Priorities, am I right?

💥It's about time!!!!😝

How come this “task force” wasn’t implemented during the past few years when black monuments were being desecrated? Black monuments for people who stood up for civil rights and not treasonous, insurrectionist rednecks.

Stomp out the 14% causing the rioting. Should have done it 100 yrs ago

Can’t wait for CNN to twist this and tell us how bad this is. CNN = Liberal Tool

Statues...not people...statues. Fuck the soldiers because of statues. Damn shame.

SoFriedHomo so glad that the trump administration prioritizes metal confederate lives more than black ones

How about protecting our troops from Putin!

And that’s what realDonaldTrump admin is wasting time and money on. Protecting traitors statues and monuments, while thousands are dying of a killer pandemic. He thinks this will play out well with the base. Sure till they lose one of theirs to the virus. JoeBiden parscale 🇺🇸

The Leftists in Canada are doing the same as they are in the States. Vandalizing statues esp religious ones. So glad I walked away. The Dem's and Liberals in Canada have gone full blown Leftist on us. Can't even have a different opinion without being called a Racist. WalkAway

Anything to keep the Fuhrer Trump happy ..spineless DHS DHSgov realDonaldTrump ProjectLincoln

let me guess, there is no task force to protect black lives?

Good, vandals and thugs

Typical Trump Administration: 'Squirrel!'

I follow back JoshStiles1994

foxandfriends MSNBC NPR s that great news or what. Win-Win? Comments or crickets- we’ll see

Covers 'American' monuments .... can we assume those of our enemies (oh, for example, the Confederacy) are not covered?

Confederate generals and flags are as American as apple pie. Now kneeling against racism... unAmerican. Protesting against police brutality... unAmerican. We are a white, god and gun loving country who just want to put woman and “others” back into their place. Hmm... fuck that..

So Trump and his Administration want to protect monuments but not people? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ People are dying by the 10s of thousands and this fool wants to protect monuments.

A waste of tax $$

POTUS realDonaldTrump they should be used to remove you from continuing to murder AMERICANS!

But not a task force to protect living Americans?

It's much much more easy to defend a statue than to fight Covid-19.

It's plan and semple Its the people who do the educating in uni and school 90% of people did not no who the ornaments was till all the crap on tv so it's the educating people who set it all up by building it up every yrs passing from Yr to next till you have roiting

Clearly monuments are more important to Trump than actual people 😒

Vandalism is not the way to remove a monument.

Trump will blow up the national monuments if he thinks it will get him re-elected. He doesn't care about our history or our monuments. It's just part of his re-election ploy. His task force won't be needed once he's gone.

Trump puts more value on statues than his own citizens

What a waste of resources.

The New Minutemen?

So not the priority

Hey we've got over a hundred thousand people dying and millions jobless and it's going to get worse. Should we give them Medicare 4 All to help? Nah, let's instead build a task force to protect racist statues.

Good! Preserve US history from these Marxist mobs.
