Trump's ICE Agents Are Arresting US Citizens. GOP Budget Would Hire 10,000 More.
Briefly

President Trump’s budget bill, which allocates an unprecedented $75 billion for ICE, is under fire for its role in enhancing mass deportation initiatives. As the legislation experiences waning popularity due to controversial health care cuts, the hefty allocations for ICE have received little critique. With plans to deploy thousands more agents, communities have voiced opposition, particularly following viral incidents showcasing aggressive immigration enforcement practices. The bill's implications are particularly alarming for cities with significant immigrant populations, where fears of increased raids and violent arrests have led to public outcry and protests.
Polls show the so-called 'big, beautiful' budget bill championed by President Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress is becoming deeply unpopular as more people learn about the deadly consequences of... proposals to slash the health care safety net.
The GOP budget bill's $75 billion in supplemental funding for ICE is now under increasing scrutiny as reports and viral images emerge of protests against indiscriminate immigration raids.
