President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to make undocumented immigration his top priority during his second term, promising to carry out the largest mass deportation operation in American history. However, even before he officially reenters the White House, there is a big obstacle he will need to overcome— budget shortfalls.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency that will be tasked with carrying mass deportations, is already facing a $230 million budget shortfall, even before the costs that will be associated with mass deportations, according to a new investigation by NBC News.
