The Senate barely passed Trump’s 'Big Beautiful Bill' today after an all-night circus. But the chaos isn’t just a fluke. It’s the inevitable result of governing through Trump-style campaign tactics. And the result? A bill that is as rotten as the leader who forced his party to ram it through.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.
If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.
