These are our so called allies. |
If Dems agree to this, the gov will conduct more raids. Raids have been going on in CA, and 508 people have been arrested so far. For fucks sake. More money without anything done on DACA?

This is 50 PERCENT above where detention bed funding was over the last few years under Obama when #immigration detention beds hovered around 34,000. @ICEgov has continually chosen to use more detention beds than it has money for during CRs & then asked Congress to bail them out.. Thus far Congress has bailed them out EACH time. Despite Dems and Rs not being happy that @ICEgov is trying to write itself a blank check from Congress. When it came time to write FY2018 budgets, BOTH the House and Senate did not come close to funding 51,379 detention beds.. So of course the Trump administration is NOT getting every #immigration detention bed it wants, even Republicans in the HOUSE were not willing to fund that amount. But what is happening, is #immigration detention and therefore the deportation machinery IS growing... Democrats and Republicans who do not want to see #Dreamers, #TPS holders and others filling #immigration detention beds would do well to try an keep @ICEgov in check and not fund these insane levels of detention |
