And here's a bit of a hint for the slow people out there - they don't need that many agents or that big of a budget if they're only dealing with immigrants.

If I remember something I read earlier, they would be better funded than the Russian military. This is insane.
The russian military literally told their soldiers to show up for war, bringing their own weapons, food, clothes, and tools.
Thats not exactly a great bar to measure funding with....
Money to fund gestapo US Border Patrol and ICE-IS but not enough for health care for our elderly, education for our youth, or nutrition and housing assistance for our vets.
This government is morally bankrupt. Error Code: 404
It absolutely eclipses the Gestapo.
The Heritage Foundation quite literally took the Nazi Germany history and said "we can do it better."
With 32,000 members, the Gestapo and adjacent effects was able to kill 21m people.
The Foundation wants 258,000,000 dead.
That $170b is going to that.
Yeah, this is some SS level shit. Or more accurately, Trump wants his own Rosgvardiya.
That's $170B, not millions.
280,000,000 dead
Who exactly?
The Heritage Foundation members have stated a population around 100million would be healthy.
If 75% of Americans were culled (remember the number supposedly "saved") that ends up being near 100m or killing 258m.
65m Hispanic ancestry? 48m Black Americans? 6.5m South Asians? 5m Ethnic Chinese?
I know Laura looked said 65 mil but maybe they just want the 1% left and use robots for labor.
ICE = SS
Largest and most expensive are two different things, most expensive could lead to largest, but I guarantee you the plan for spending that money is the size and shape of a napkin and includes a big funnel to the military and prison industrial complexs and with a sketch of some stick figures in suits throwing piles of cash at each other while laughing.
Oh, look...
That private army Mafia Don Mangolini's always wanted is coming to pass.
Able to do "Daddy's" (🤮) bidding without restraint or consequence.
FFS.

the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation
Are all those qualifiers even needed?
Are there any state or local agencies larger than the federal government’s? Are there any other countries with larger agencies? (China or India, maybe?)
Or can we just call it “the largest law enforcement agency in (western) history”?
Would? Try will. It passed the house 218 to 214, all but two Republicans for and every Democrat against.
Wait it passed? The democrats didn't do anything to stop fascism? Who could have seen this coming?
It helps when they are not the minority… with a 10% margin
They have the filibuster. The thing they refused to get rid of to allow them to do good things.
Can't filibuster a budget reconciliation bill. How many times do we have to go through this before people understand that?
I'll never vote blue no matter who ever again. We are living the ongoing consequences of Biden's ongoing genocide, and y'all are way too willing to shift all the blame to Trump and GOP.
I'm certain 1 or 2 Democrats would have broken with party line to ensure it passes, we don't have 50 moral Democrats that can't be bought. They didn't need to break the illusion of being the opposition party this time.
Remember that it was under Biden that reporters were dragged out by force for asking questions about Gaza.
I am not saying Democrats are good (or not corrupted)… but blaming democrats for what Republicans are doing is apologetic to republicans
“They would have done x if they were the majority “ is just your speculation. The reality is that the US voted this… and it’s getting this
What did I blame the Democrats for what the Republicans are doing?
Are you denying that Biden enthusiastically and fully backed the genocide?
If so, I see no point in arguing with you anymore, you're clearly still in the American politics cult. Democrats are not your friends, they just give you the illusion of someone fighting on your behalf. They are complicit in every major shift the country took to the right.
Oh no not AI videos! The horror. Bring back the 2,000lbs bombs on tent encampments and leaving babies to starve to death in hospitals, bring back white phosphorus on civilians, bring back normalizing dead baby pieces hanging from the rubble. But not AI videos!!!
Biden is our Hitler, and our history books will reflect that. You're correct, the Gaza genocide is just one small chapter in the history of England and then the US colonizing Palestine.
Be consistent, if you're able to credit him for the good things he did instead of saying he's just building on what Trump left him, you should be able to recognize that he could have ended this genocide but refused.
Even if Trump was a good president/person and wanted to end it, there's nothing left of Gaza for the remaining population. Biden already wiped it out.
"I didn't like getting a paper cut, never doing that again, I'd rather get stabbed with a rusty sword next time."
First they came for the Palestinians in Gaza And I did not speak out Because I was not a Palestinian in Gaza
Is that clear enough yet? I've watched Americans dismiss the slaughter of our children as a papercut and describe the infinitely preferable (compared to your children being literally shredded to pieced daily, or a paper cut in your words) future of Americans who refused to vote for a viable candidate as being stabbed with a rusty sword.
And you expect us to be there for you when you're the last one left? Fuck you. You described an active Genocide as a paper cut, and the self-destruction of the American empire and the upcoming recession due partly because they got rid of cheap exploitative labor as a stab with a rusty sword. You lack historic perspective, empathy, morals, and certainly class consciousness.
The Democrats are not your friends, do you forget that Debbie W Schultz rejected our demand for Bernie and have us Hillary? That's how we got Trump the first time, and what did the Democrats do? They blamed us, the voters. You forget Hillary's contempt for Bernie voters and how she described him as an infiltrator?
America ruining itself is going to save millions of lives and give many counties the chance to recover from exploitation. You're just being a selfish fuck who's upset now that consequences are home.
Any angry mobs a guy could join? Anyone about to drag the far-right nut jobs that control our government out into the street and [REDACTED]? Can we do that before the genocide this time?
