"The funding surgeâ which Republicans could approve without a single Democratic voteâwould allow ICE to add thousands of officers to help arrest and jail more immigrants."
"Using the budget-reconciliation process, Republican lawmakers are now preparing to lavish ICE with a colossal funding increaseâenough to achieve a demographic transformation that immigration hard-liners have long fantasized about."
The Trump administration's mass-deportation efforts are being supported by potential significant funding from Congress, as Republican lawmakers are considering a budget-reconciliation process to increase ICE funding. Despite the current administration's bold moves to deport millions, such as raids and detentions, they have not reached their targets. The proposed funding might amount to $175 billion over the next decade, allowing for vast enhancements to ICEâs operational capabilities and facilitating a dramatic demographic shift, driven by immigration hard-liners.
