I've been a reporter for a while now, and like @paleofuture.bsky.social, I've never encountered a public affairs office as unprofessional as DHS reason.com/2025/10/22/h...
Screenshot of linked article text: If you've spent any time reading the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) public statements lately, you've probably gotten a strong whiff of what Tennessee Williams once called the "powerful and obnoxious odor of mendacity." Of course, all governments since time immemorial have lied, but it's been hard not to notice, especially for reporters, the decline in reliable information being released by the federal government, particularly the DHS Office of Public Affairs, which is responsible for distributing public information about the Trump administration's mass deportation program. "I've been a reporter for over a decade, and I've never had government officials respond to emails in the way that they have since President Trump took power this past January," Gizmodo reporter Matt Novak wrote recently. I've been pestering federal agencies in Washington, D.C., since 2011 and noticed the same thing. It's not just the tone (such as responding "your mom" to press inquiries), but a willingness to put false information out to the public and never correct it.

If you're opening a concentration camp, you're on the wrong side of history.
