The plans largely depend on the resources and funds available to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which historically has had budget shortfalls.
Incoming U.S. Border Czar Tom Homan, seen here in Texas in November, has privately told Republican lawmakers to temper their expectations for the incoming administration’s initial deportation operation, citing limited resources, according to multiple sources involved in the conversations.
In recent meetings with House Republicans, Homan, a veteran of immigration enforcement, has outlined a tiered approach to Trump’s mass deportation pledge, according to lawmakers and sources involved in the discussions. “President Trump will enlist every federal power and coordinate with state authorities to institute the largest deportation operation of illegal criminals, drug dealers, and human traffickers in American history while simultaneously lowering costs for families. The American people re-elected President Trump by a resounding margin giving him a mandate to implement the promises he made on the campaign trail, like deporting migrant criminals and restoring our economic greatness.
Homan has repeatedly stressed that he remains focused on public safety and national security threats, but hasn’t ruled out that others who are in the US illegally but do not pose a safety threat could be swept up in deportations., Homan said he would need a minimum of 100,000 beds to detain undocumented immigrants — more than doubling the 40,000 detention beds ICE is currently funded for — and would require more ICE agents. The agency has around 6,000 immigration enforcement officers.
Republicans are trying to massively cut government spending across the board, yet all parties involved acknowledge that increasing deportations will cost significantly more than what the government has currently allocated., deporting 1 million people per year would cost approximately $88 billion annually and $960 billion over a 10-year period.
“It will cost a lot to deport,” Biggs told CNN. “But guess what? It will also save a lot. And it’ll be a net benefit.”From asylum to the Ivy league: An East Bay student’s journey
