Having a special DEA to enforce drug laws rather than a broad-purpose police agency that faces tradeoffs about priorities seems to create bad bureaucratic incentives where people have their whole life and career and identity invested in hyping up a particular problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than defunding the FBI like these rightists want, I think we should consider getting rid of narrow-purpose agencies like DEA, ATF, and ICE and building a more comprehensive federal law enforcement agency. https://t.co/8rCgPDUD8H — PolitiTweet.org

If you look at the FBI/DEA/ATF/ICE budgets as a whole, ICE is over half the total spending. But if you had a consolidated federal police agency I don’t think people would feel that interior immigration enforcement should consume the majority of its resources. — PolitiTweet.org
