Congress immigration ICE deportation budget.

President Donald Trump promised the largest mass deportation operation in U.S. history, but achieving his goal wouldn’t have been possible without his big tax and spending cuts bill. Passed by Congress, the bill Trump signed into law has fueled an unprecedented buildup of immigration enforcement in Minneapolis and beyond. As the budget for Immigration and Customs Enforcement has ballooned, the ranks of ICE officers have swelled to 22,000 — larger than most police departments in America. One budget expert says the GOP’s big bill is “supercharging ICE” in ways Americans may not fully realize. There are few restraints on the spending, which lasts through 2029, when Trump’s term ends.
