SOLD: If BBB Passes 'ICE Will BE Supercharged On a Massive Scale'

If the OBBB passes, ICE will be supercharged on a massive scale:

- $45 billion to more than double ICE detention capacity to roughly 100k beds.

- $14 billion for transport & removal.

- $8 billion to hire 10,000 additional ICE personnel, more than doubling current 5k…

...- $1.3 billion for ICE OPLA (additional attorneys & support staff). 

- $858 million for signing & retention bonuses.  

- $787 for state/local participation in ICE/DHS efforts.  

- $700 million for technology enhancements. - $650 million for 287g/local ICE cooperation.  

- $600 million for recruitment, hiring, & onboarding. 

- $200 million for fleet modernization. 

- $20 million to detain aliens with their children. Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons told me this funding would be a “game changer” for the agency. 

This would give one of President Trump’s biggest agenda items - mass deportations - a massive shot in the arm.
