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.

If HHS is cutting 10,000 positions and the Department of Education has already slashed hundreds of special education and rehabilitative jobs—who’s left to manage IDEA for 7.5 million school kids?
