US House candidate buys nazis.us domain to redirect visitors to homeland security

Mark Davis, running in Florida, says he bought domain because Republican party had gone full fascist'

A Florida congressional candidate says he bought the online domain nazis.us and set it up to redirect visitors to the US Department of Homeland Security, under whom federal agents have been carrying out brutal immigration crackdowns at the behest of the Trump administration.

Mark Davis, who is running for Republican Vern Buchanan's seat in November's midterms, took responsibility for the ploy in a Friday X post - as polling showed most Americans believe the killing of Minneapolis woman Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent demonstrated problems with the way ICE has been operating.
