This is a textbook distraction play. The DHS 'revelation' about program exploitation is a routine enforcement report being weaponized for maximum outrage during a week packed with genuine constitutional threats (voter data demands, civil service purges, Alabama gerrymandering). The governance substance is minimal—a report about past vulnerabilities, not a new policy change—but the emotional payload (murderers + sex criminals + immigration) is engineered for viral spread. Coverage volume vastly exceeds institutional impact.
