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.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.
Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

This was the point in the @propublica.org story on pricey cancer drug Revlimid where i got angry.
The price has gone up 26 TIMES since 2006.
Yet, @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social found a deposition where a top exec admits the drug has ALWAYS cost just $.25 to make.

The headline is deeply misleading. You can’t suspend habeas corpus just “for migrants.” As we’ve seen, ICE will pick *anyone* up. If you have legal status but no right to habeas corpus, you’ll have no ability to challenge your detention or deportation. Suspension for some is suspension for all.

20 years ago, Texas studied immigration and found that undocumented immigrants' economic contributions outweighed their costs. Now, for the first time since, Texas may conduct a similar study — but only focus on the costs.
Texas may study the impact of immigration again, but focus only on costs
The only time the state conducted such an assessment two decades ago, it found that undocumented Texans contributed more to the state’s economy than they cost the state.

It’s unclear exactly how many citizens have faced the Trump administration’s dragnet so far.
The government does not release such figures.
Neither Border Patrol nor ICE would tell ProPublica how many Americans have been mistakenly detained.
