A nice reminder of the immense power contained in saying “no.” When people refuse to comply, it raises the costs ($$$, political, social, etc) of enforcing authoritarianism. They very well might try anyway, but every person that says “no” is another point of friction.

This is a budget for a declaration of total war on the population. It's the building of an army of blackshirts and the creation of a massive system of concentration camps.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:

- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
