Donald Trump’s ‘Big, Beautiful Bill’ Provides Windfall for US Immigration Crackdown

  • On Thursday, the House passed Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill' to meet the July 4 deadline, promising billions in ICE funding, tens of thousands of agents, and mass deportation mandates.
  • Driven by Trump’s immigration agenda, Stephen Miller claimed the bill would massively increase ICE’s scope, budget, and enforcement speed, making it one of the most well-funded quasi-military agencies.
  • The American Immigration Council estimates that new funding could expand detention capacity to at least 116,000 beds, with analysts noting enforcement will accelerate gradually over time.
  • The bill allocates $10 billion to deputize local law enforcement, with masked federal squads conducting operations likened to kidnappings across the country.
  • The bill returns to the House on Wednesday for a decisive vote, potentially unlocking around $150 billion over four years for ICE expansion and long-term enforcement changes.
