With Americans struggling to afford health care, utilities, child care, and more, the Trump administration is all-in on mass deportations and warehousing immigrants—and Republicans in Congress are about to bankroll it.
BREAKING: As Congress votes on $70 billion for ICE & CBP through 2029, the House Appropriations Committee released a bill to give them $30 billion more in FY2027 alone.
