Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The Department of Homeland Security has requested an extra $2 billion to meet its needs by the end of September

Immigration and Customs Enforcement could run out of money as soon as next month amid the Trump administration’s ramped-up efforts to deport unauthorized immigrants.

While there are more than three months left in the fiscal year, one estimate has found that the agency is already $1 billion over budget, according to Axios. Legislators in both parties have raised concerns about the speed at which the agency is spending its funds, which may prompt Donald Trump to seek additional funds from other agencies to support his deportation efforts.

Lawmakers have stated that the department responsible for ICE, the Department of Homeland Security, overseen by Secretary Kristi Noem, could violate the law if it continues to spend at current levels.

Oh no how unfortunate.

Where's the DOGE Goblin when you need him?

To be busy convincing everyone that they don’t do drugs.

Genuinely hope these gravy seals get their Nuremberg

Apparently they are much more tolerant now

It's up to us.

That's what scares me.

The Dem "leadership" thinks they're saving their own skin, not realizing their weakness and cowardice will make them primary targets. I suppose it'd be more true to say 'it will be up to us', when the time comes.

Don't worry, they'll take that funding out of Medicare, education, transportation, etc.

As mentioned in the article, they will invoke emergency powers to gain access to more money. The Big Beautiful Bill would give them everything they need as well.

They’ll print the money to fund their cleansing until it’s value is nothing, and their supporters will cheer them on into ruin.

They’ve only just begun their campaign of terror on the populace. They still have several other groups of minorities they need to take care of. The whole “First they came for…” is playing out right before our eyes.

"First they came for" left out a lot of groups they came for

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

You’re absolutely right!

All while people starve in the streets and grocery prices skyrocket. But all the struggling Trump supporters will be reassured that the big bad immigrants are going away.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

This is why a new war is needed. Once they are unable to afford to disappear people en masse, they’ll need a new distraction. Just jingle some keys in front of them as you pick their pockets of rights and dignity, and they’ll be satisfied.

Lol, i wonder how many of them will volunteer to work for free?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Abuse minorities with impunity? There will be so many volunteers they'll have to hold a lottery.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

Probably a depressingly high amount. I doubt there's a lot of ICE agents that see it as just a job instead of a license to fuck with brown people with impunity.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Somebody needs to go through their paperwork and doxx every one of those cunts.

It’s weird that when I run out of money I just don’t have more money.

From where are they taking this extra $1B?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

From you. And all the other tax payers. Definitely not from rich people though. All their money is busy trickling down on you.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Cancer research and Medicaid.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

That's their budget on paper. Their real budget is infinity.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I’m sure the Gestapo wouldn’t mind being violent to brown people for free.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Going to see a lot of paid time off cancelled.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

So? WHY do you think we cut EVERY OVERSIGHT AGENCY investigating Elon Musk, the DEPARTMENT of my Child's Education, people who TELL ME IF A TORNADO WILL KILL ME, FEMA and others? So we could AFFORD to have Unmarked Masked Men Kidnap Children!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

What's their budget for victim storage in El Salvador?
