ICE's cash crisis deepens amid immigration crackdown
Just a moment...
Why it matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is already $1 billion over budget by one estimate, with more than three months left in the fiscal year. That's alarmed lawmakers in both parties — and raised the possibility of Trump clawing funds from agencies to feed ICE.
Trumps attempt at creating a fascist dictator regime is collapsing.
That means Trump doesn't really control any part of the nation the way a dictator is supposed to, and his attempts to achieve it are failing.
Obviously the flawed democracy of USA is not safe yet, but if the trend continues, there is hope USA may get through this eventually.
Don't worry for Trump. Nothing that a good old war can solve... Everybody I'll have to fall in line, or be lined up, in the name of patriotism.
In 1930's Germany, the NAZI party had the same logistics and financial cost of displacement problems. They figured out a solution. This freezes my blood.
It's clear that ICE is morally bankrupt, but I thought that its restructuring into a secret police force would be financed by these absurd import tariffs, which are so broad in scope that they are basically tantamount to a massive VAT increase.
So at 1 billion dollars to deport 250k people, many of which are actually us citizens, it will be a mere 44 billion to deport every illegal immigrant according to recent estimates. It will also lead to a huge reduction in tax revenue, and increase in the price of both goods and labor.
Great investment if you hate America
their hate for minorities is greater than whatever positive emotions they can have towards the country.
That's my theory. Trump is pissed he lost 2020 and wants to destroy the country.
Pissed about His whole FCK life with all this historical fails He immediately began destroying the US in 2016...
2020 were further preparations... with allegations of stolen election... January 6, etc. .... that in 2024 there will not be a single statement about election manipulation, although it is certain that it was manipulated.
Moreover, most of Biden's proposals were blocked by Republicans... seems more like a deliberate pawn sacrifice so that one has something to complain about afterwards for the supporters
I keep seeing posts like this, but the sad truth is they are going to be just fine. The DHS just got a 65% increase in their budget for 2026 to go to 60 billion dollars. I believe this is the largest percentage increase since it began. That is almost 4x the budget of NASA and includes 40 billion in discretionary spending.

Even if they run out of money before September, Congress will trip over themselves to give them more money. There are zero checks on Noem at this point.

No biggie. When the big bogus bill gets passed ICE will be plush with cash.
