The budget bill just passed by the Senate provides more than $170 billion in new funding for immigration enforcement and detention. Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, who worked on an analysis published by the American Immigration Council, says the new budget would make ICE “the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation.”

    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

      Don’t worry, there’s plenty of money to fund israeli healthcare as well as their genocide.

    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”?
