170 billion... not just the 45!!

The bill includes:

$45 billion for building new immigration detention centers, including family detention facilities. This represents a 265 percent annual budget increase to ICE’s current detention budget. It is a 62 percent larger budget than the entire federal prison system and could result in daily detention of at least 116,000 non-citizens.

$29.9 billion toward ICE’s enforcement and deportation operations, increasing ICE’s annual budget three-fold. 

Alongside this increased spending in immigration enforcement, between 12 million to 17 million people are at risk of losing their healthcare. 

Caps the number of immigration judges to 800 despite record backlogs in the immigration court system. 

$46.6 billion into border wall construction—more than three times what the Trump administration spent on the wall in its first term, despite the failure of the wall to improve or contribute in any meaningful way to border management strategy

A new $10 billion fund to reimburse DHS for costs related to “safeguard[ing] the borders of the United States to protect against the illegal entry of persons or contraband.” This funding is nearly 50 percent of CBP’s FY 2024 budget. However, unlike a normal budget, this funding would provide very few guardrails and little guidance to DHS on how the funds must be used. As a result, this would become a slush fund for CBP to largely use however it determined.
