US EditionICE could run out of money next month and is already $1bn over budget
- The Department of Homeland Security and ICE face a severe funding shortfall, risking running out of money as soon as July 2025 amid escalated deportation efforts.
- This shortfall results from aggressive demands by the Trump White House to detain 3,000 immigrants daily, causing ICE to overspend its congressional budget by about one billion dollars.
- Lawmakers from both parties warned that continued overspending could violate the Antideficiency Act, which prohibits spending unappropriated funds, and agency officials could face legal penalties.
- The situation pressures Congress to pass Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which would allocate $75 billion to ICE over five years, while the administration considers declaring a national emergency to reallocate funds.
- If unresolved, the funding crisis could impair ICE’s capacity to enforce deportations aggressively, particularly in targeted Democratic-led cities like Chicago and New York, influencing broader political and budgetary dynamics.
