DHS Lectern Phrase Is Real, But Nazi-Origin Claim Is Unsupported

Researchers have found no historical record tying the wording to Nazi or Falange slogans.

Overview

  • Photographs and official video confirm a Jan. 8 DHS news conference in New York featured a lectern placard reading "ONE OF OURS ALL OF YOURS" alongside the address dhs.gov/wow.
  • Fact checks by Snopes and Lead Stories found no evidence that the phrase originated in Nazi Germany or in Spanish Falange propaganda.
  • A DHS spokesperson told Snopes that calling the phrase Nazi propaganda is baseless and declined to explain when or why the wording was adopted.
  • Opinion coverage and online sleuthing point to similar phrasing in modern pulp, mob, and revenge fiction rather than documented wartime slogans.
  • The news conference centered on immigration enforcement, with Secretary Kristi Noem defending an ICE agent in a recent fatal shooting and vowing aggressive prosecution of attacks on officers.
