“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.
