ICE Set to Exhaust Funds by July as Enforcement Costs Mount
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement faces a severe funding shortfall and may exhaust its budget by July amid increased deportation efforts.
- The shortfall results from President Trump's directive for ICE to execute the largest mass deportation program, demanding daily detentions of 3,000 immigrants.
- ICE is reportedly $1 billion over its authorized budget and DHS detention centers are over capacity while lawmakers warn that rapid spending risks legal violations.
- Senator Chris Murphy criticized the Department of Homeland Security under Trump for excessive and unauthorized spending, while the agency has sought an additional $2 billion to continue its enforcement operations.
- If funding challenges continue, the administration might invoke emergency powers to redirect federal funds, raising concerns about effects on other government agencies and potential legal issues.
