President Trump signed a domestic policy bill deemed a severe threat to democracy, primarily by enhancing wealth for the richest through tax breaks while undermining the social safety net. The bill allocates $170 billion to bolster immigration enforcement, particularly benefiting ICE, which has already engaged in unlawful actions against immigrants. These acts include aggressive detentions, deportations without due process, and violent tactics against individuals in public spaces, raising alarms about the erosion of civil liberties and the increasing militarization of the country that affects everyone, not just immigrants.
This bill hands over a staggering $170bn to the Department of Homeland Security to ramp up this administration's brutal immigration enforcement agenda.
Even without these resources, ICE has already been responsible for outrageous and unconstitutional acts that are hacking away at our democracy.
