That is the expansive plan #Trump’s top #immigration ofcls intend to enact after months of struggling to overcome staffing shortages & logistical hurdles that have stymied his pledge to record the most #deportations in US history.
After weeks of pressuring members of #Congress into supporting his domestic policy #legislation, #Trump has secured an extraordinary injection of funding for his immigration agenda—$170 billion, the vast majority of which will go to #DHS over 4yrs.
The annual budget of #ICE alone will spike from about $8 billion to roughly $28 billion, making it the highest funded law enforcement agency in the federal government.
The new resources will fuel an intense initiative to recruit as many as 10k new agents who will have a presence in cities like NYC & Los Angeles, & throughout the US. And the money comes as a windfall for #PrivatePrison companies, who have already rushed to pitch the admin on new contracts to run facilities.
@Nonilex There's got to be a grift here. How will the grift work with the ICE funding,? How will that money be transferred out of the government?
