The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Did you know the United States made it so that they would be held virtually unaccountable for the crime of genocide? The US has used Reservations, Understandings, and Declarations to protect it's sovereignty from foreign intervention. I feel like this is a point I should make.
