I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Gemini - “You have an outstanding invoice to xyz. However a transfer was made”
Me - That invoice is 8 years old and paid. What about the 2 most recent emails.
