More detention centers, targeting sanctuary jurisdictions: Trump administration's immigration battle

NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 25 – The Trump administration is increasing immigration enforcement with $45 billion for new detention centers, adding 116,000 beds, and suing New York City over sanctuary policies linked to a recent officer shooting.

  • The Trump administration has escalated its immigration crackdown by sending additional ICE personnel to cities that protect undocumented immigrants and has launched legal challenges against municipalities such as New York over their sanctuary city policies.
  • This escalation comes amid increasing disputes over sanctuary city policies, including an incident in New York where a Customs and Border Protection officer, who was not on duty, was wounded during an attempted robbery—an event federal officials attribute to these policies.
  • Several Republican states have increased support for federal immigration efforts, including Georgia converting a facility into the nation's largest detention center and Arkansas building a new 3,000-bed prison.
  • The recently enacted "One Big Beautiful Bill" provides $29.9 billion for recruiting and maintaining ICE personnel, $4.1 billion dedicated to border patrol agents, and $45 billion aimed at building additional detention facilities that could increase capacity by approximately 116,000 beds nationwide.
  • These actions suggest a coordinated federal and state effort to increase detention capacity and target sanctuary jurisdictions, with ongoing legal challenges expected to continue shaping immigration policy.
