💨 Abstract

Upon signing a law that boosted the Department of Homeland Security's budget to nearly $170 billion, President Trump's administration is undertaking extensive Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. This includes arresting undocumented immigrants from cities and job sites, aiming for mass deportations. The substantial funding, including redirected money from other agencies like FEMA, is raising concerns among lawmakers about the sustainability and oversight of these operations.
