DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin told TMZ after it first reported on nazis.us that her agency, which houses ICE, had “successfully blocked the redirect” by Thursday morning. However, as of late Saturday, typing nazis.us into a web browser led users to the Homeland Security website at dhs.gov.

Lol still redirects as of this morning.

How could you possibly block a redirect?

Browsers send a referrer header by default, which includes the url that led them to make the request.

So it'll just block the request?
