Congress set to hand Trump billions to recruit more ICE agents
NBC News ^ | 6/27/25 | Jonathan Allen

President Donald Trump is on the verge of getting billions of dollars from Congress to recruit and retain agents to carry out the mass deportation campaign that was one of the central promises of his campaign.

Trump has been on a roll in his efforts to combat illegal immigration and remove undocumented immigrants from the country, and both advocates and critics of his plans say that bolstering border security and interior enforcement will make it easier for him to execute on his vision.

The issue, a key tenet of his MAGA movement for a decade, helped him win back the White House in 2024. It remains his strongest issue, with 51% of adults approving of his handling of immigration and 49% disapproving, according to an NBC News Decision Desk poll powered by SurveyMonkey that was released this month.

Illegal border crossings, as he and other administration officials often point out, have dropped precipitously, even without the completion of a long-pursued border wall.

And the Supreme Court ruled Friday in a way that allows him to continue his push to deny the 14th Amendment's guarantee of birthright citizenship to some people born in the U.S. — at least for now.

But the heart of his campaign to deport millions of undocumented people has been beating more slowly than he would like. Administration officials say they can kick-start it if Congress delivers on a budget measure Trump nicknamed the "big beautiful bill," which would spend billions of dollars to boost the ranks of border agents and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials.

NBC news: And the Supreme Court ruled Friday in a way that allows him to continue his push to deny the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship to some people born in the U.S. ...
But the SCOTUS just ruled, as you recognize that ...
NBC: La la la la la can’t hear you.

Martha’s Vineyard doesn’t have good airline connections or a large airport. It would be a poor choice compared to somewhere near ORD, MIA, ATL or LAX.

“Martha’s Vineyard doesn’t have good airline connections or a large airport.”

They can use the Massachusetts Guard like they did last time.

Michael Yon says he’ll know they’re serious about deportations when they start loading up shiploads of illegals.

Typical NBC BS reporting. It's a story full of thinly veiled charged non-neutral words and pejoratives...

That said, I happen to be in MA this week and I notice several businesses that used to be operated by mildly hostile aliens now operated by helpful people speaking with a native born accent.

“deny the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of birthright citizenship to some people born in the U.S.”

Just the type of lying claptrap from NothingButCrappola and Jonathan Allen that one might expect.

FR needs a “I voted for this” button - similar to a “Like” on Facebook.
