I donβt think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make whatβs happening now look like childβs play. And people are disappearing.

For now, Pentagon and DHS wonβt recommend that Trump invoke the Insurrection Act | CNN Politics
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will not recommend invoking the Insurrection Act in a memo the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security are preparing...
CNN reports that DHS and DOD will recommend that Trump does NOT invoke the Insurrection Act.
Reportedly one of their concerns is not the danger of using this authority for immigration enforcement; it's that the detention capacity isn't there if they did deploy the authority.

Good morning.
Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.
It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.
