ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.
So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?
The answer is: you.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

Follow the money.
Yes. The horrors and crimes against humanity committed with US taxpayers' money will continue.
But that 10x? Graft, kickbacks. Trumpeeter Crime Family marches on.
Even billionaires wanna be trillionaires in these tough economic times.
I’m happy to be deported to Ireland. Thanks for the flight. Get me outta this rapidly declining violent shithole. Buh bye. Wont miss a goddamn thing about it here.
They’ll send you to a concentration camp.
I would be out if I could get citzenship in norway.
(Nearly) Free healthcare, legal weed, a hardcore progressive president w over 90% approval, LGBT equality w no BS religious exemption rendering nondiscrimination laws useless, lower cost of living, Very safe in Mexico City
And w SecDef’s emphasis on recruiting, retaining, and promoting only straight white males whenever possible, you can guess which Nazi organization is analogous to his vision for elite units of our armed forces.
It’s TERRORISM
Nobody wants to be a fascist foot soldier. Sure they'll cheer it on in the abstract. But they don't want to be pointing a gun at a granny.

Everyone is at risk.
NOT saying they should. Just predicting who's next.
The homeless. (bonus: solves the housing problem. Makes homeless be a source of income for the detainers.)
The elderly. (bonus: solves huge chunk of healthcare costs.)
Muslims?
Those pesky Canadians? :)
?
Who remembers this from 2020?
Just one more domino.
Trump will announce that a new federal police agency will be developed which will absorb state and city agencies.
When asked, the ICE officers will claim they were never there in the first place.
rapid ice response networks have been extremely effective and would be doubly so if ice were confronted w equally armed opponents who stand up for total liberation and death to fascism.
this is nazi germany, start acting like it
They will not stop until they're Stopped.
They hate that.
Fuck every single republican.

to make their quota
and there's absolutely nothing we could do from that other country
Something tells me we also wouldn't have access to our assets - gov't would seize them?
Fuck these fascists - Do not comply.
Everyone in red states must bombard their senators now to Vote NO on this vile bill!!
There's still time to pressure Senators on socials. Focus on Tillis, Paul, Collins, Murkowski, Johnson, Lee, and Scott.
🇺🇸✊✊🇺🇸
IT WAS ALL A LIE TO SCARE PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR TRUMP.
It's never been close to 20 million.
Because they're too chickenshit to go after rapists and murderers, they're going after vital workers. It's lose-lose-lose.
Everyone but crooks would win.
For all I know they could be proud boys, oath keepers or the KKK.
"First they challenge the police and military, then they join the police and military, and then they transform the police and military."
What had been radical becomes standard, almost banal.
*FTFY
arm up because they already stated they dont care for the law & cops have been helping them time and time again across the board.
they will not stop if asked nicely, nor sternly.
this is nazi germany, start fucking acting like it.

When they run out of 'immigrants' they are totally coming after us next.
We will be the 'nasty, evil people' who kept him from 'finding all the bad people'...
So after they run out of easy pickings.. then they will start on 'protestors' and 'Democrats'.
This is just the same excess military spending problem from two decades ago.
Two sides to every issue, while they loot the vault.
It’s not left vs. right—it’s 92% vs. the elite.
We see the game now.
No more politics as usual.
This is not about immigration, it’s a scheme to make some people very rich!
True immigration policy would send ppl back to their countries & be done. Keeping them caged is an excuse for private companies to make money & probably with a percentage to trump!

1) Call your Senators to vote “NO” on the bill
2) read Senate bill/summary & find offensive section #’s
3) CALL your House Representative & urge to amend/delete sections

They will come for Socialists, then the LGBTQ people, then the Muslims, then the Atheists, then the rest of the non-Evangelical Christians, then the Democrats, then the Independents, then the RINO's, then the MAGA disloyal, then...anyone left.
Between that and blocking entrants from non-white countries, they'll be well on the road to ethnically cleansing the U.S.
if history is any guide (cf. 'boondoggle on the border'), they will be back asking for more, so the current figures are preliminary/aspirational (and come with no heightened oversight in the law, i.e.inspector general funding)
Just search on Title IX.

Notice in this repeat of history they don't know who is where and can't find people. They aren't keeping records or 'evidence'. They are literally disappearing people.
i know, when i see one.
as a german i've seen this in history-lessons and
historical sites.
In exchange for helping President Trump carry out his deportation agenda, the United States paid El Salvador millions of dollars, adding an important sweetener at Mr. Bukele’s request: the return of key MS-13 leaders in American custody.

There are so many reasons why what ICE is doing is so dangerous...
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jun/28/civilians-impersonating-ice-officers?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Sooner or later, some is going to shoot them, regardless of being real ICE or not. From this point on, "dangerous" could become the understatement of the year.
Show me those shootouts!
We were laughed at so hard when we tried to warn people, ridiculed, made out for nutcase, thin foil heads,.
Not so funny now is it?
Please get this out if the awful bill!

The impulse to punish the opponent, the interviewer, and the news org that aired the piece is unhealthy. It's fascist and betrays deep immaturity and an inability to learn / improve
this is nazi germany, start acting like it
Especially if they’re deporting most of the population, who’s even left? Will they have to start deporting themselves?
They’ll be at every voting site. Masked, armed, checking ID’s and discouraging electoral participation/suppressing the vote.
It does not look like it’ll be a popular job even among bigots. It’s bottom-feeder work.
Spending trillions to starve our children, deny the unwealthy of healthcare and allow anyone the racist don't like to be tortured .
Next up? YOU
"When will I be sent to Alligator Alcatraz"?
I think I will start asking that each time I call.
And for a normal country, we spend a lot on defence.
No one is safe.
We've let it happen to BIPOC since before we were an actual country.

It's a wonder every country doesn't have a flashing red "Don't visit America!" message for travelers on their websites. Hopefully the word gets out before more people from other countries are detained here!
Those left of center don’t feel the need to have a dick waving contest with our guns though.
We don’t make our tools the basis of our identity.
CALL your senators
You, your children, grandchildren, and your aging parents are depending on YOU

only by grabbing valuable workers can they hit that number. They don't go after gangs.
