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.

Agreed. More ICE please!
Hmmm...sounds like a merchandising opportunity!
Buttons, T-shirts, etc.
Johnathan you ignorant slut.
Rand “I hate everything” Paul and Ron “deep state talking points” Johnson disapprove.
“Michael Yon says he’ll know they’re serious about deportations when they start loading up shiploads of illegals”
When the Republicans in Congress give Homan the budget for shiploads I’m sure we will see it. Until then Yon, and more than a few people around here, need to learn how budget cycles work. DHS is still under the last Biden budget and they’re burning through that pretty damned quick.
So get on the blower to your Congresscritter and tell them to pass the Bill they have in front of them. Maybe rattle that idiot Massie’s cage while you’re at it.

No reason to get snippy. Go with suspending posse commitatus for illegals and you’ll have your budget to tap.
imagine if replaced all the tsa with ice
Once again I’ll ask those who think birthright citizenship is in the constitution:If foreign diplomats children born in the US aren’t granted citizenship, how are illegal immigrants any different?
Not news so much so; say... back when 44 bungle in the jungle took it upons hisself to add 81,000 armed tax collectors set upon the citizens theirselves.?!
Shame on the fake news, no differentiations, only narrativing and party lineage.
that’s fine, illegals cost us TRILLIONS!
“Go with suspending posse commitatus for illegals and you’ll have your budget to tap.”
Not gonna happen.
So deal with reality.

Head em up, move em out!!
Better to call up the Unorganized Militia and train them for a bounty program, with heavy penalties for false arrest. We need manpower, but we don’t want a permanent police state. Why not structure it to disband as the job winds down?
Good times!
Excellent idea!
