AOC Warns of ICE 'Explosion' After Trump Bill Passes
Newsweek ^ | 7/3/25 | Anna Commander

Posted on 07/04/2025 5:23:56 AM PDT by DallasBiff

Taking to social media after the bill passed, Ocasio-Cortez expressed concerns with what the bill now means in terms of funding for ICE.

"I don't think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ICE," the New York lawmaker posted on Bluesky. "This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA, & others combined."

Cortez concluded, "It is setting up to make what's happening now look like child's play. And people are disappearing."

"People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I'm sorry we have to live through this," Ocasio-Cortez said.

In the bill, $45 billion will be given to ICE for detention capacity while allocating $29.9 billion in additional funding to the agency through September 30, 2029.

The funding for ICE now exceeds that of many of the world's militaries.

Great! Just maybe we can now get all of the ILLEGAL aliens out of this country.

The detractors who are against this are either themselves ILLEGALLY here or have family who are ILLEGALLY here or are mentally disturbed Lefty LIB nitwits who despise the law and who want ILLEGALs counted in the census and to vote.

OUT! GET OUT!!!

>> And people are disappearing.

That Donald Trump — he’s a Stable Magician! What a guy!

I VOTED FOR THIS!

(Don’t worry, AOC, those disappearing people will reappear where they belong later in President Trump’s Big Beautiful “Magic” Trick!)

There was even talk of taking bunch of those newly strapped IRS agents and assigning them work on on ICE duty.

I think that might pose a security problem.

FTA: “It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA, & others combined.”

If the democrats hadn’t created such a monstrous problem, the size of the solution would not have been so large.

Bet she didn’t think of that.

We have about 30 million people we need to deport. That will require resources.

Bigger than the FBI sounds about right to me. We got ca. 40 million illegals running around, it’s going to take a very large outfit to get them all rounded up and kicked out.

Why don’t we know the actual number of people who came across the border in the last 4 years?. They dishonestly claimed asylum after being coached by NGO‘s or “religious” groups, and then were given documents to appear before an immigration magistrate years in the future.

Were any records even created? Dems counted these people as legal.
