The Department of Homeland Security posted a photo of President Donald Trump on Monday with a caption calling out opponents of his administration. “Did you remain loyal?” the caption read:The photo was shared in response to a series of headlines posted by right-wing social media personality/podcaster Christian Heiens, who was commenting on recent events he considered favorable to Trump. These included the Trump administration moving to revoke the visas of 200,000 asylum seekers and the Supreme Court lifting an injunction on the president’s executive order seeking to restrict mail-in voting. “It’s just a series of generational wins after another,” Heiens wrote.Critics were quick to slam the department’s post as partisan propaganda designed to instill fear in Trump’s opponents.“Ask yourself: did generations defend our democracy… for this?” Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) wrote on X. Some commenters said the post was far beyond anything that Homeland Security should be doing. Others said they will only remain loyal to the Constitution, not to a man. Read reactions to DHS’s post here: Had to find this because I didn’t think it was real but it is. Our tax dollars paid for this post which seems only to be about trying to scare people who don’t support trump. This is a truly insane and also very stupid moment in American political life. https://t.co/YZdyseJ9JC— Molly Jong-Fast (@MollyJongFast) August 25, 2026"Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official... It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country."--Theodore Roosevelt https://t.co/aoJBYiLHMn— Josiah Hawthorne (@JosiahHawthorne) August 25, 2026My loyalty is to the Constitution, to the Republic, to Democracy.Trump and the DHS are the enemy of these things, such as rounding up citizens violating their Constitutional rights on the orders of the President. https://t.co/pRgDSqfyeR— Robert Graham (@robertgraham) August 26, 2026RelatedDonald TrumpHomeland SecurityDHS
