The Department of Homeland Security rang in Police Week this year with a video campaign to rally support and gratitude for law enforcement.
A video compilation of U.S. Capitol Police, Transportation Security Administration officials, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, and more was posted to the department’s X account on Monday. The video’s caption promised that “DHS is ushering in a new era of law and order made possible by the men and women in uniform securing our nation each day.”
“We thank each of you wearing different badges united by one mission: to make America safe again,” the video’s caption read.
DHS is implementing a starkly different social media policy than the previous administration. Weeks ago, the department posted a screenshot of the restraining order filed against Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran immigrant who has received nationwide media coverage.
The department is seemingly following suit with the White House account, which recently posted a video of deportees leaving the country with the soundtrack of the 1969 song “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.” President Donald Trump has taken a lighthearted approach to social media and recently shared an AI-generated photo of himself dressed as the pope.

Trump campaigned on law and order, claiming, “Kamala Harris is the Weakest Presidential Candidate in History on Crime.”
The Major Cities Chiefs Association, which is comprised of law enforcement executives representing most major metropolitan areas, reported that homicides, rapes, aggravated assaults, and robberies declined in nearly every city during the first quarter of this year. These crimes were down by a combined average of 14%.
