    ICE and Border Patrol will get $170 billion in additional funds through September 2029 - a huge surge of funding over their existing annual budgets of about $19 billion after the Republican-controlled Congress passed a massive spending package in July.

    Administration officials say they plan to hire thousands more agents, open new detention centers, pick up more immigrants in local jails and partner with outside companies to track down people without legal status.

    It would be nice if these headlines just said “Stephen Miller set to…,” etc. Miller is setting DHS/ICE policy, and Trump is along for the ride. And we all know this. But Trump thinks we’re all clueless about it, like all of his other grifts.

    But gosh, if Trump saw Miller taking his spotlight in the media and portrayed as having the power Miller actually has, Miller would be gone within a week.

      I don’t think Trump really cares about that anymore, he’s way too out of it. Susie Wiles diarrhea’d all over him a few days ago and she still works there. 8 years ago sure, but not today.

    Unless I missed it, this article doesn’t mention that last year — so the out all this ICE bullshit and wasted money — the Biden admin deported more people than the Trump admin this year.

      Jeez y’all still on this? If people fail their asylum claim, they’ll be deported. Entirely different.

      You’re being downvoted by people who’ve never worked with co-workers that speak zero english.

      I have nothing against immigrants but c’mon, at least try to learn the local language!
