‘I am here I. World News
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is facing intensive criticism for a series of campaigner videos, citing Bible verses to frame immigration enforcement as a righteous and divinely induced mission. In the video shared on the internal and recruitment channels, the script has a military vizulized visuals – condemning religious leaders and advocates of civil rights who say that the agency is giving weapon to confidence to justify controversial exile practices.
Isaiah in a flake jacket
One of the DHS video opens with Isaiah 6: 8: “Then I heard the voice of God saying, ‘Who will I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, ‘I am here. Send me! ,Another video has used Proverbs 28: 1: “When no one chases, the wicked migration, but the righteous are bold as a lion.” Critics argue that in terms of enforcement footage, this poem implies that migrants are “wicked” and DHS agents are “righteous”, which prepares exile instead of a policy option.The Guthar Graves-Fitzesimons of the Interfath Alliance called the campaign “an acceptance of moral bankruptcy”, “If your policies were simply, you will not need a divine cover to sell them.”
Crossing the constitutional line?
Faith leaders in sects have pushed back against the DHS campaign. RaveMuslim civilian rights activist Linda Sarsaur warned that preparing rigorous policies in religious language works to make migrants inhuman, facing the violence of the state in moral neutrality. “When you put the Bible behind a badge, you are not protecting faith – you are kidnapping it,” he said.Legal scholars also raised red flags. The establishment of the US Constitution is banned on government support of religion in the segment. While DHS has not officially responded to the requests of clarification, the civil liberties group are allegedly preparing to challenge the campaign in the court.
Manifest Destiny revival
In addition to the Bible references, a video includes the painting American progress, the 19th -century manifest Destiny Alegori, which reflects a white woman floating west to the original Americans to escape. Together the slogan reads: “A legacy to proud. It is worth a homeland. ,Observers say that imagery, combined with scripture, revives settling-colonial rhetoric to frame modern immigration as part of a historical and moral continuity. Dr. Dr., a professor of theology and morality. Miguel de la Torre stated that the campaign “rebuilt fate manifested with HD drone and a Bible poem.”Nomon theoryThe department’s messaging shift has been led by Secretary NoM, who was confirmed by the Senate after resigning as the Governor of South Dakota in January 2025. Known for her radical conservative politics, NOEM increased to national prominence during the Kovid -19 epidemic, when she rejected the lockdown and mandate, which she called a “personal responsibility”.A former rancher and four-term American representative, NOEM, has long deployed itself as a constitutionist, with a deep relationship for the Group Christian values. Since taking charge of DHS, he has gone fast to implement the immigration agenda of the Trump administration-expediting-to accelerate, to destroy security imposed under the biden administration and oversee the sharp expansion of immigration and customs enforcement operations.While NOEM has not publicly commented on the Bible-Kavita video, its tenure has seen a rapid conceptual frame of homeland security, especially around the subjects of national destiny, trust and boundary sovereignty. Analysts say that religious overtones are in line with its political brand and are strongly echoed with conservative base.
To submit Aadhaar before 2026?
The video has emerged politically in a strategic moment. With increasing exile and back in the headlines, the administration indicates strength to its base before the mid -term elections of 2026.Analysts suggest that religious messages are less about internal morale and more about external optics – Christians fought to activate conservators and strengthen a moral story around border enforcement. By casting the DHS agents as a righteous protector on a divine mission, the agency did not describe exile not as a matter of policy, but as principle.Orthodox commentators have praised the video as “inspirational”, while progressive groups described them as “dangerous democratic propaganda”. Inside DHS, internal emails received by advocacy groups suggest that material was produced by the office of public affairs without input from any religious advisory board.As the political stakes grow, the line between the state power and the spiritual language appears to be blurred – now the US government’s exile is playing an unexpected role in the playbook with the Bible.
