The Trump administration’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” domestic spending legislation, which passed Congress yesterday, will provide Immigration and Customs Enforcement about $45 billion over the next four years to spend on detaining undocumented immigrants, part of an unprecedented investment in enforcement set to turbo-charge the administration’s already sweeping campaign of arrests and deportations.
The funding is more than the federal government spent on immigration detention during the previous three presidential administrations, combined, according to a Washington Post analysis.
