ICE's cash crisis deepens amid immigration crackdown

I'm not saying Trump isn't awful, and things aren't bad. I also clearly state democracy in USA isn't safe yet.
But Trump is failing more than he is succeeding.I am not American, but I really hope they will work to improve democracy. The concept of a president controlling the entire administration is both awful and not representative of the population. A democracy that result in a 2 party system is only barely a democracy.
But Trump is failing more than he is succeeding
by what standard?
every way he is failing affect Americans more than himself, that's no consolation

so mild resistance and dirty looks that, in no significant way, are stopping Trump from destroying democracy and the world economy... got it

Why it matters: Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is already $1 billion over budget by one estimate, with more than three months left in the fiscal year. That's alarmed lawmakers in both parties — and raised the possibility of Trump clawing funds from agencies to feed ICE.
I'm just spitballing, but could we cut services that help people to pay for this bullshit? Like, maybe everything good that my taxes pay for could be re-routed to hurting people? I dunno, just a thought. /s

Edit: charge them fines for the shit they pulled, sell off their gear, do the sane for any cop or agency that collaborated. Even set a precedent that complying with illegal orders is bad and you shouldn't! We won't do any of that, but we could!

In 1930's Germany, the NAZI party had the same logistics and financial cost of displacement problems. They figured out a solution. This freezes my blood.
Yeah. But, hey, fuck it?

their hate for minorities is greater than whatever positive emotions they can have towards the country.
They don't have positive emotions.
But not in a cool intellectual way like me.

Same, not because the intellectual bit, just regular depression

I keep seeing posts like this, but the sad truth is they are going to be just fine. The DHS just got a 65% increase in their budget for 2026 to go to 60 billion dollars. I believe this is the largest percentage increase since it began. That is almost 4x the budget of NASA and includes 40 billion in discretionary spending.

Even if they run out of money before September, Congress will trip over themselves to give them more money. There are zero checks on Noem at this point.

Correct, they can print all the money they want, it's fake tied to nothing.
TACO will just say some stupid thing to justify it and it will continue. It has been shown that there are no checks and balances that can be or willing to be put in place.
I didn't read the article but again it's another reminder that the mainstream news isn't going to really report in anything.
ICE budget over by a billion, yeah no shit did you think all these cosplayers were already in the payroll and just hanging out at their bases looking at all the gear they have.

It was beautiful to see how everybody were bored out of their mind. Nobody enjoyed being there.
Oh yeah, that really was an extra cherry in the cherry.
It was such a sad display overall
