Minor correction - the bill passed today increases it's overall operating budget by $175B to over $200B total. ICE will become the third most funded armed forces in the world just behind China. $45B is earmarked for camps.

There's about 10M undocumented immigrants in the u.s. This is about $20k each. They're not just going after immigrants.

and many immigrants dont want to be found which is why they are targeting non immigrants as well.
