“ICE gets a bigger budget than the Marine Corps” is a simple fact that should be communicated very widely because it clearly expresses how crazy and radical this is
With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending
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.

Addendum: Matt makes a great point.
The research cuts both ways on Vance's claim about immigration's impact on social cohesion. But there's really no doubt that Trump II's policies completely undermine it among the broader population.

Sending masked, unidentified armed agents to grab people off the street, in contrast, is great for social trust. Also taking away people’s health insurance, and suddenly firing civil servants illegally. Oh and not sending any relief to people hit by tornadoes: great for social trust

Racist and sexist roots in the cancellation of NSF grants under Trump:

Breaking News: President Trump plans to accept a luxury Boeing 747 from Qatar that he will use as Air Force One and will keep using after he leaves office. The plan — involving possibly the biggest foreign gift ever received by the U.S. government — raises substantial ethical issues.
