"supercharging ICE,"
"I just don't think people have a sense of the scale,"
"We're looking at ICE in a way we've never seen before,"
Federal funding increases and a major tax-and-spending cuts bill have substantially expanded Immigration and Customs Enforcement funding, enabling $50,000 hiring bonuses and growth to about 22,000 officers. The expanded force is larger than most American police departments and functions as a national law enforcement presence empowered to pursue large-scale deportation operations. Intensified enforcement has been carried out in cities including Minneapolis, where the shooting death of Renee Good exposed federal officers conducting door-to-door detentions and sparked widespread protests. The administration threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, and around 1,500 Army soldiers were reported ready to deploy. Public approval on immigration has declined.
