This is precisely the point. What is left of Congress’ power of the purse, or even its law-making powers more broadly, if the President can simply disregard them on executive authority?
If the executive can unilaterally shift all functioning out of an congressionally established agency, then what is left of Congress’ lawmaking?
Why should Congress authorize executive agencies to do anything at all, ever?

If the country is ruled by one guy who’s immune to criminal prosecution and impeachment is off the table despite his public boasts about all the crimes he’s doing then it’s harder to explain how the Constitution is still in effect than it is to say that the U.S. is currently a dictatorship.

But don't accuse them of racial profiling.
When US citizen Leo Garcia Venegas tried to prove his identity by showing federal agents his REAL ID, they dismissed it as a fake and kept him detained, releasing him only after they bothered to run his Social Security number.
