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.
Well, then the Left will get what they want! No immigration enforcement! LOL
Go back to reddit
Ultra LIBERAL Reddit where you can’t have a different opinion? I thought Lemmy would be different…
Maybe just get off the internet entirely bruh.
And let the LEFT win? NEVER!!!
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?
Cancer research and Medicaid.
From you. And all the other tax payers. Definitely not from rich people though. All their money is busy trickling down on you.
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!
Oh no how unfortunate.
Don’t worry, they’ll take that funding out of Medicare, education, transportation, etc.
Where’s the DOGE Goblin when you need him?
To be busy convincing everyone that they don’t do drugs.
Over 1bn, and they’ve only kidnapped about 51,000 people. What a fucking waste of money and time.
Don’t forget $800m of the money is just for ICE agent bonuses.
$42k per agent.
How many sent to the gulags in El Salvador and Guantanamo?
Remember, we’re paying them to house our deportees in nightmare conditions, almost all of whom have never committed a crime.
Don’t lie. They’ll find a way to fund this shit cause it ruins everything for every minority. Always got infinite money for fucked up shit. Never any to help people.
The Big Beautiful Bill is evidence enough alone of that. An absolutely horrific amount of cuts for programs that help people, ostensibly to “offset” the tax cuts for the rich, but it still balloons the deficit by $3.5 trillion.
There’s a reason Trump is trying to pressure the Federal Reserve. The wealthy don’t care if the dollar fails or goes into hyperinflation: they own assets which they can trade for currencies other than dollars. If the dollar spirals out of control for everyone else well “whoopsie doodles” they’ll say.
There’s a damn good reason the price of gold went up by ~50% in about five years. And looking at the state of the world right now… buying more of it is probably not a bad idea. The more unstable the world, the greater the attraction of gold. The price will keep rising.
Going to see a lot of paid time off cancelled.
Somebody needs to go through their paperwork and doxx every one of those cunts.
I remember reading somewhere that the Third Reich was pervasively cooking the books and scamming their own financial sector to support their war and genocide, basically from beginning to end.
The secret police will find the money.
You assume he cares, he doesn’t they just won’t pay employees while he starts another email fundraiser in which he keeps the profit.
It’s worth considering that a good reason they decided to start invading other countries is because their economy was in the absolute fucking toilet. The inter war. Was nothing but economic failure for Germany, mostly because they had these gigantic sanctions and embargo and reparation payments to deal with. All that war spending didn’t really help that much.
So that’s actually a subtopic of WW2 that I haven’t dug into much - I know a bunch of the general economic context, but not the fiscal policies they were using to support their aims. Did the Nazis just issue shitloads of bonds and then say “yeah we’ll figure out the bill later, nbd”, or what?
They were actually improving economy wise just before Hitler, then just like with the US right now the fascist dipshits fucked it all up.
Massive tax cuts for the rich, combined with massive domestic spending increases. I wonder what that will do?
About time we call DOGE on them!! Has anyone got their number?? /s
8647
that’s gonna be so many people’s pins if i ever go into crime im gonna have to try using that
OMG YOU CAN’T SAY THAT THAT’S SO DISRESPECTFUL
FJB BTW!111!!!
Yeah, Fuck John Barron
Is that the TACO bell I’m hearing?!
… ok so I had to look up what the heck that means, and found this article by The Independent that explained that
According to the dictionary site Merriam-Webster, “86” means to "to throw out,” or “get rid of,” and derives from a 1930s slang term for “sold out.” The number 47 is believed to refer to President Trump, as the 47th president.
Oh 47 is believed to refer to Trump? 😀
Also, fuck me it really activated my almonds to see Loomer and Gabbard pretend to be shocked by this to the extent that Gabbard suggested jailing Comey:
Conservative MAGA pundit Laura Loomer also expressed her shock on X.
“WOW! Former FBI Director James Comey just posted this on his Instagram 2 hours ago, with the caption “cool shell formation on my beach walk”. It’s a pic of shells in the form of “86 47”. This is a call for the assassination of President Trump by the former FBI Director!,” she said.
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said she felt that Comey should be jailed for the post
Conservatives call for the murder of leftists (ie anyone left of the Strasserites, and even they would probably be too “woke” for them) all the fucking time – eg Vance has publicly endorsed an author who wrote a book saying that leftists aren’t even human but should be tortured and murdered en masse – and those fucking inbred plastic cunts have the gall to cry about fucking sea shells?
edit:
About Vance’s totally normal and acceptable views:

Never forget that this is now mainstream conservatism. They literally want to murder you.
I hope all these ICE fucks don’t get paid and get booted from their homes and they fucking strave.
Lol, i wonder how many of them will volunteer to work for free?
Abuse minorities with impunity? There will be so many volunteers they’ll have to hold a lottery.
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.
That’s their budget on paper. Their real budget is infinity.
