The U.S. Congress has approved a $175 billion budget for ICE, the country’s immigration enforcement agency—a figure 22 times higher than last year’s and equal to the military budget of Russia, which is currently waging war in Ukraine. According to President Trump, the goal is to expand detention center capacity to 100,000 beds by the end of the year, handing over management of these facilities to private companies through contracts that could reach up to $45 billion.

Sources close to the administration say that once the funding takes full effect, deportations will be carried out by the thousands each day—a scale that is raising concerns in certain sectors. Southern farmers, for instance, many of whom voted for Trump, are now struggling to harvest crops that previously relied heavily on undocumented immigrant labor.
