As Domestic Programs Are Slashed, Food And Healthcare Prices Rise, DHS Wants Billions More With No Strings Attached

Mass deportation remains unchecked, unaccountable and unabated. No more blank checks At a time when food banks are seeing long lines and Americans are worried sick about how to afford a doctor’s visit, the Trump administration wants to waste billions more to ensure its mass deportation agenda rages on. And, top Congressional Republicans are demonstrating they are willing accomplices to give a blank check and unchecked chaos to armed and masked agents despite the loud call from the American public for accountability. South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (a one-time champion of a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented, believe it or not) announced a Senate Budget Resolution that does nothing to address the daily costs burdening working families, instead prioritizing around $70 billion, and possibly even up to $140 billion, in new spending for ICE and CBP through the end of Trump’s presidency – and with no guardrails or no accountability. Because that’s just what these agencies need – another monstrous check on top of the $190 billion they already got last year under the ugly budget law. Meanwhile, mass deportation agents boast about getting bonuses for harassing American teenagers like 16-year-old U.S. citizen Arnoldo Bazan. He said that the mass deportation agents who physically and verbally abused him “even celebrated” that they would get a bonus for detaining him and his dad. But that’s just one example of the kind of abuses that are still happening in states across the country. Now that ICE and CBP could be looking at billions more in funding through another budget reconciliation bill, reported abuses under the mass deportation agenda warrant further scrutiny. CHILDREN TARGETED, DETAINED, TRAUMATIZED Many of the administration’s most reprehensible attacks have been targeted at those least likely to be able to defend themselves: our children. In Texas, nearly 600 kids were held at the nation’s lone migrant family jail “in recent months without enough food, medical care or mental health services, as their time inside stretched beyond court-mandated limits,” the AP reported. One mom told NBC News in February that she feared for her toddler’s life after she became seriously ill – and only continued to deteriorate – after being targeted and detained at the camp. “It began with a fever, then a cough that wouldn’t ease. Her nose clogged with thick mucus. Her breathing grew strained and wheezy,” the report said. By the time that detention staff decided to get Amalia to a hospital, she had to be treated for pneumonia, Covid-19, RSV and respiratory distress. “Thank God,” Valero Marcano said when staff acknowledged Valeria needed urgent medical attention. “Because you haven’t done anything.” In recent weeks, children’s educator Ms. Rachel has been among leading voices urging the closing of the Dilley migrant family jail, writing that kids “held in immigration detention endure trauma, neglect and conditions that violate basic standards of health, safety, dignity and human rights.” But as 16-year-old Arnoldo recently made clear, this mass deportation agenda traumatizes all children. During a March hearing hosted by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Rep. Robert Garcia (CA-42), Bazan bravely shared how agents put him in a choke-hold and called him – a minor – an “illegal idiot” and “border hopper.” He still struggles with the ordeal and gets shaken when he sees law enforcement. “When I go to school, I pray I come home safely,” he said. “Whenever I hear sirens or see an officer, my heart starts racing. I don’t even know when I will see my father again. DETAINEES PACKED ‘LIKE SARDINES’ AND DYING AT TERRIFYING RATES In Florida, staff at the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” appeared to defy a federal judge’s ruling “ordering detention center officials to provide access to timely, free, confidential, unmonitored and unrecorded outgoing legal calls,” the AP reported. When detained individuals dared to complain that they were being denied their rights, they were beaten and pepper-sprayed. “Six days after the reported attack, Raiko Lopez Morffi’s right eye was still swollen and black during a video call with his lawyer Katie Blankenship, who took screenshots of his injured face and arm,” Truthout reported. Lazaro Hernandez Galban, another detained man, “said one guard told him to ‘watch what you say’ before a group of them entered the cage in a cloud of tear gas that prompted an older detained man to pass out, and began to beat and kick Morffi and others.” In Arizona, Democratic lawmakers that conducted an unannounced inspection of a detention facility expressed horror at conditions they witnessed inside, including human beings packed like “sardines” and begging for help, the Arizona Mirror reported. And while mass deportation agents have stopped executing Americans in the streets, the deadly brutality continues behind detention walls, with immigrants dying in ICE custody at an unprecedented rate of once a week. In California, Jose Guadalupe Ramos-Solano died March 25 while detained at the privately-operated Adelanto ICE Processing Center. In Indiana, Tuan Van Bui died April 1 while detained at the Miami Correctional Center. In Louisiana, Alejandro Cabrera Clemente died April 11 while detained at the privately-operated Winn Correctional Center. And just one day later in Florida, Aled Damien Carbonell-Betancourt, 27, became the 17th person to die while in ICE custody in 2026. Carbonell-Betancourt is “the 47th person to die in federal immigration custody during the current Trump administration,” said Syracuse University professor Austin Kocher. “He is also the third person from Cuba to die in ICE custody. Unless something changes dramatically, ICE is on predictable track to report 60 detention deaths by the end of the year.” MILITARY SPOUSES DETAINED, AMERICAN FAMILIES SEPARATED The U.S. has turned its back on American military service members who’ve put their lives at risk in service of our nation, detaining a number of spouses of active-duty soldiers. In Texas, ICE abducted Deisy Rivera Ortega, the wife of a service member who has served in the military for nearly three decades. Rivera Ortega actually holds legal protection that forbids her deportation to her native El Salvador, CBS News reports. So officials are instead trying to deport her to Mexico – a country she has no ties to. “’I don’t really understand why, because she followed the rules of immigration by the T since day one,’ Serrano said, noting his wife had an active work permit at the time of her arrest,” CBS News reports. “I love the Army. (The) Army helped me out for almost 28 years. It’s not the Army, sir. It’s ICE,” Serrano continued. “ICE is out of control right now, sir, taking away rights, as soldiers, that we have.” This family’s ordeal is representative of how the administration’s mass deportation agenda – and potentially billions of additional dollars that could fund it through the next couple of years – represents a threat to family unity all over the country. In Wisconsin, four U.S. citizen children are without their mom despite an immigration judge ruling last December that she’s entitled to a green card, Wisconsin Public Radio reports. Last year, Elvira Benitez-Suarez, who has called the U.S. her home for nearly four decades, “was traveling with her husband and two youngest children to Niagara Falls,” the report said. “Their GPS took them on a wrong turn and into Canada.” Now that wrong turn risks tearing this American family apart permanently. “My mom is not a criminal,” said her daughter, Natalie. “She does a lot of good things, she helps us, she helps the community, she helps her church, she helps others.” Americans have been making clear they want reforms to the lawless and deadly mass deportation agencies that have been wreaking havoc across our communities and terrorizing our neighbors, regardless of legal status. Just look at all the neighbors flooding their local government offices to oppose the opening of ICE warehouses in their communities: And look at the majority of midterm voters who say that they approve of shutdown demands seeking to rein in mass deportation agents, including mandating the use of body cameras, requiring agents to ID themselves, and an independent investigation of abuses of power, among a number of items. But the administration has instead refused to agree to reforms and has instead tried to play us with much-hyped personnel changes that included the firing of now-former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. No more blank checks – especially when resources would be better served helping families keep a roof over their heads and food in their bellies. “American taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for mass deportation that inflicts violence in our streets, violates our rights, and destroys vital sectors of our economy,” said America’s Voice Executive Director Vanessa Cárdenas. “That is exactly what the GOP proposes to do, choosing to ignore soaring gas prices and access to affordable healthcare, housing, and education.” “Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s mass deportation machinery of ICE and CBP are out of control and unaccountable to American taxpayers. These renegade agencies cannot be given another dime, let alone funding for the remainder of the Trump and Miller term – especially as the administration lays out their official quota of one million deportations per year. Talk about ignoring the clear will of the American people.” “Instead of more funding, ICE and CBP and the mass deportation machinery do need reform and accountability, as the sheer volume and examples of cruelty remind us on a daily basis,” she concluded. “The American people are demanding accountability, not a blank check.” The post As Domestic Programs Are Slashed, Food And Healthcare Prices Rise, DHS Wants Billions More With No Strings Attached appeared first on America's Voice.

Wasted Dollars, Wrong Priorities: What Trump and Miller’s Mass Deportation Spending Spree Costs Working Families

Trump and Miller are demanding billions more for mass deportation through a second reconciliation bill with a June 1 deadline. The initial $191 billion allocated in 2025 through reconciliation was pulled directly from healthcare, food assistance, disaster relief, and law enforcement budgets. That effort reveals the GOP’s priorities: they’ve poured billions into detention expansion, warehouses, and deportation flights with virtually no public accounting, and they’ve rejected every deal that came with accountability and reforms a majority of Americans support. Now they’re demanding $50+ billion more with the same zero oversight. As Americans file their taxes this week, the economic picture couldn’t be starker: consumer sentiment just hit a record low point, inflation is surging at 3.3%, GDP growth dropped, and reports in February showed an unexpected drop in personal income. Working families are being squeezed from every direction. Instead of using their tax dollars to lower costs and make everyday life more affordable, Trump and Miller are doubling down on mass deportation spending – squandering billions while families fall further behind. Here’s what happened with the first $191 billion allocated in 2025 – a preview of what’s to come: The $191 Billion Warning: Evidence of Where This Money Goes Republicans used reconciliation in 2025 to hand Stephen Miller $191 billion in DHS enforcement funding, the largest single immigration enforcement spending surge in American history. ICE alone received $74.85 billion, nearly nine times its FY2024 budget. CBP received $64.73 billion. The funding also included a $22 billion DHS slush fund with no line items, no oversight, and no reporting requirements. As of February 2026, the administration had already deployed $114 billion of that money, with not even Congress able to determine exactly how the largest law enforcement funding surge in history is being spent. Now Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s (R-SD) is pushing a new reconciliation effort that would fund ICE and CBP through January 2029. Based on current base funding rates, analysts estimate the demand at $50 billion or more on top of the $191 billion already handed to DHS enforcement. The $45 billion allocated specifically for detention expansion is already being spent: immigration officials have purchased 11 warehouses across the country for mass detention. Healthcare Will Take Another Hit The same pattern will repeat: the next reconciliation bill will cut healthcare even deeper. The first bill already cut federal Medicaid by $990 billion over 10 years. The law will ultimately leave more than 10 million people uninsured by 2034. The reconciliation bill also triggered automatic Medicare cuts starting in 2026 – meaning seniors lose coverage while Miller’s detention operation is fully funded. 61% of Americans say they worry “a great deal” about healthcare affordability, the number one domestic concern in the country. One in three Americans has already cut back on everyday expenses – utilities, gas, prescription drugs – just to pay for healthcare. Food Assistance Faces More Cuts The next reconciliation bill will cut even deeper. The first bill already cut $187 billion from SNAP through 2034, the largest cut to food assistance in the program’s history, stripping support from 42 million Americans who rely on it for an average of $6.20 a day in grocery help. For the first time ever, states must now cover 5–15% of food benefit costs. This funding shift could force some states to drop SNAP entirely – leaving overwhelmed food banks to try and pick up the pieces. Roughly 600,000 low-income households will see their food benefits slashed by an average of $100/month – just as grocery prices remain high and food insecurity continues to climb. According to Pew Research Center, the cost of food is one of Americans’ top economic concerns. Public Safety and Law Enforcement Will Be Diverted Further, Disaster Relief Gutted Again The next $50 billion in reconciliation funding will expand these dangerous diversions. The first bill already triggered the largest reallocation of federal law enforcement since 9/11, pulling 23,000 federal officers from the FBI, ATF, DEA, and U.S. Marshals off their core missions and reassigning them to deportation operations. Nearly 1 in 5 FBI agents were removed from counterterrorism, espionage, cyberattack, and corruption investigations to round up immigrant neighbors. 80% of ATF’s special agents were diverted to immigration enforcement, while about 25% of DEA personnel were shifted to immigration operations – gutting federal gun law enforcement and cartel and drug trafficking investigations. ICE has systematically drained FEMA, transferring $608 million directly to ICE operations while the administration canceled the BRIC disaster resilience program with $3.6 billion allocated for infrastructure protection across the U.S. What the Next $50 Billion Will Mean: Expansion of Cruelty The $45 billion in detention funding is resulting in human rights abuses like those recently documented at Arizona facilities, where federal lawmakers conducting unannounced inspections said detained immigrants awaiting deportation flights were treated worse than “animals.” Families report their detained loved ones sleeping on concrete floors in overcrowded cells reeking of feces and vomit. Immigration officials have also spent over $1 billion in taxpayer funds purchasing nearly a dozen warehouses to convert into mass detention camps for our immigrant neighbors. In Georgia, one proposed site would be larger than any single jail or prison building in the entire country. ICE spent $4.5 million on recruitment ads while SNAP ran out of funding and federal workers went without paychecks during a government shutdown. That spending was just the beginning: ICE has since launched a $100 million “wartime recruitment” campaign to flood Spotify, Rumble, UFC events, gun shows, and military bases with ads – all funded by the same reconciliation bill that cut food assistance for 42 million Americans. Meanwhile, Trump and Miller have detained more than 6,200 children since returning to power, subjecting them to inadequate medical care, poor nutrition and education, and possible lifelong trauma. Nearly half have been held longer than the 20-day limit set by decades-old court settlements. The choice facing Congress is happening now: Trump and Miller are demanding another $50+ billion through reconciliation. Every dollar they secure will come directly from healthcare, food assistance, housing aid, or federal law enforcement. Americans are clear: they want relief, not raids. Congress is deciding right now whether to fund working families or double down on mass deportation.

Some States Protect Freedom, Freeze ICE Out

State and local government action is helping eliminate “one of the Trump regime’s key tactics for mass deportation and family separation,” one advocate said Local and state lawmakers all across the country have been taking substantive action to push back against the Trump administration’s brutal mass deportation efforts, in particular proposing and passing legislation to rein in deeply-flawed 287(g) agreements, a controversial federal policy that allows local law enforcement officers to be deputized as ICE agents and that has “exploded in popularity” under Trump’s second term, as Bolts reports. RESTORING TRUST In New Jersey, Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s signature late last month makes the state the 10th in the nation to ban 287(g) agreements, which experts have said make communities less safe by perpetuating racial profiling in addition to wasting local law enforcement resources. The Immigrant Trust Directive, which codifies a 2018 directive from then-Attorney General Gurbir Grewal, is notable for “eliminating one of the Trump regime’s key tactics for mass deportation and family separation,” said Make the Road New Jersey. “Sherrill also signed two other pieces of legislation aimed at protecting New Jersey’s immigrants,” Bolts reports. “The Privacy Protection Act, which restricts when local and state agencies can collect information about immigration status or share it with the federal government; another law requires ICE agents to show their faces and provide identification before making an arrest.” Make the Road New Jersey’s Nedia Morsy told Bolts that passage of the bills under new state leadership shows “the state legislature and the [Sherrill] administration is recognizing that there is rising authoritarianism and there is a need to act.” STOPPING HARMFUL DETENTION New Mexico also moved to ban 287(g) agreements, after Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed into law a sweeping plan that also prohibits localities and the state government from entering into agreements to detain immigrants for civil immigration violations, as well as stops the use of public lands for immigration-related detention, a coalition of groups said. They said the legislation makes the state a leader in “comprehensively” rejecting “involvement in a deportation system marked by violence, abuse, and death.” “New Mexico’s three detention centers have facilitated this system of harm, with documented cases of excessive use of solitary confinement, inadequate medical care, lack of clean drinking water and food, and five deaths in custody in recent years,” the groups said following Gov. Lujan Grisham’s Feb. signature. “The Immigrant Safety Act ensures New Mexico will no longer be complicit in these abuses.” The groups note the alarming rise in deaths in ICE custody, with one expert noting that deaths have been coming at the rate of one every six days. ICE ACCOUNTABILITY In Maryland, Gov. Wes Moore signed legislation banning the state’s 287(g) contracts amid “thunderous” chants of “Si, se puede,” or “Yes, we can,” Bolts reported in Feb. “In Maryland, we defend Constitutional rights and Constitutional policing—and we will not allow untrained, unqualified, and unaccountable ICE agents to deputize our law enforcement officers,” Gov. Moore said. “Maryland is a community of immigrants, and that’s one of our greatest strengths because this country is incomplete without each and every one of us.” More local action to protect immigrant community members came from Maryland’s Montgomery County Council earlier that month, when members unanimously passed “landmark” legislation that largely blocks county employees from inquiring about immigration status, forbids discrimination or intimidation based on immigration status, and ensures country services are accessible to all regardless of legal status. “As an immigrant who came to this country as a teenager and faced the threat of deportation, I know firsthand the fear many families live with,” said Council President Natali Fani-González. “Montgomery County is my home—a place where I’ve raised my family. Here, we believe in treating everyone with dignity, no matter where they were born, the color of their skin, who they love, or the language they speak. This bill reflects those values.” PROTECTING FAMILIES In Virginia, the commonwealth’s legislature has taken “aggressive” action to try to curb the federal government’s destructive mass deportation agenda, including sending to Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s desk a number of bills that would restrict 287(g) agreements, protect sensitive locations like courthouses and schools from raids, and largely ban law enforcement officers from wearing masks, VPM News reports. Those bills have not yet been signed or vetoed as of publishing date. One local lawmaker said in an op-ed at The Virginian-Pilot that the bills are a reflection of the uncertainty and alarm families are feeling all over the commonwealth. “Every single day, I hear from families in my district who are terrified: parents afraid to drop their kids at school for fear of being taken; job sites vacant as workers refuse to come to work out of fear of unlawful deportation; kids going hungry because the community centers and libraries where churches hand out food are now ICE targets; and crime victims afraid to call the police,” wrote Delegate Dan Helmer. “This fear does not make communities safer. It makes everyone more vulnerable.” OTHER LOCAL COMMUNITIES ARE ALSO ACTING In Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh City Council this week unanimously passed a bill codifying Mayor Corey O’Connor’s position “that no city government employees may ask about a person’s immigration or citizenship status, or cooperate with federal immigration agents,” USA Today reports. In Texas, the Houston City Council approved an ordinance that “will prohibit officers from detaining people or prolonging traffic stops due to civil immigration warrants,” Houston Public Media reported. “It will also require regular reports from Mayor John Whitmire’s administration on local immigration enforcement.” And in California, the Pasadena City Council “directed the drafting of an ordinance to codify local limits on the use of city-owned property by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents,” the Pasadena Star-News reports.

Wrongly Deported DACA Recipient Returns Home To U.S. Following Judge’s Order

“I am grateful to the court for recognizing that what happened to me was wrong and for bringing me home,” said Maria de Jesus Estrada Juárez. “But no one should have to go through this” DACA recipient Maria de Jesus Estrada Juárez – the California mom who was wrongly deported by ICE this past February after following the rules by attending her green card appointment – is finally back home where she belongs. The Sacramento Bee and advocates for the family were witnesses to Estrada Juárez’s emotional reunion with her daughter, Damaris Bello, as the pair embraced at the San Ysidro Port of Entry last week. “Estrada Juárez collapsed into her daughter’s embrace,” the report said. “For the next 20 minutes, they exchanged many tears but few words – just a flurry of hugs and kisses, trying to make up for the time apart.” Estrada Juárez – who lived in the U.S. for more than 25 years before her abrupt deportation – said she has no life “if she’s not with me.” Estrada Juárez’s return “marks a monumental victory in the fight to uphold justice, due process, and the DACA program at a time when close to 300 DACA recipients have been detained and close to 90 deported that we know of,” the Home Is Here Coalition said in a statement. “The move makes Estrada Juárez one of the few people to be allowed back into the country after a deportation during President Donald Trump’s second term, according to immigration experts,” The Sacramento Bee noted. “The government does not publish data on how often federal courts order such returns — and how often DHS complies.” This nightmare that saw Estrada Juárez detained and deported over a 24-hour-period despite holding valid protections from deportation began when she arrived at her green card appointment with paperwork in hand only to be detained by plainclothes mass deportation agents. Bello – who is sponsoring her mom and helped her prepare for the appointment – could only watch in horror and disbelief as ICE took her mom away. During a Washington, D.C. press event in the days that followed, Bello said she struggled to understand “how something like this can happen in a country that talks so much about fairness and justice.” “My mom didn’t hurt anyone,” she told the world. “She showed up because she believed in the promise that if you follow the rules, things will work out. Instead, that trust was used against her. Now I wake up every day in Sacramento without my mom. I go through life pretending to be strong, but the truth is, I feel like a piece of my life has been ripped away.” But hope for Estrada Juárez and Bello came in the form of a decisive court ruling finding that the mom “‘was removed in flagrant violation of the regulatory protections afforded to her under DACA’ and the Constitution’s Due Process Clause,” Mother Jones reported. “Upon her return, Petitioner shall be returned to the status quo, including that she shall be entitled to all the rights and benefits afforded to her by her DACA status as if her February 19, 2026 removal never occurred,” ordered U.S. District Judge Dena Coggins. “This case makes clear that the government cannot ignore due process and basic legal protections,” attorney Stacy Tolchin told The Sacramento Bee. But that’s exactly what the federal government has been doing, by deporting close to 90 DACA recipients and detaining at least 261 others despite the fact that they hold protections issued by the same government singling them out. While Kristi Noem claimed in a Feb. 11 letter that hundreds had “criminal histories,” she provided no evidence to back that up. Noem has since been fired and replaced with Markwayne Mullin, who served as Oklahoma’s junior senator until his confirmation late last month. However, mass deportation architect-in-chief Stephen Miller remains in charge, highlighting the risks that continue to face Dreamers like Maria de Jesus Estrada Juárez and U.S. military spouse Annie Ramos, who was abducted by ICE last week. While Ramos tried to apply for DACA in 2020, her application “was never processed by the Trump administration because the program was halted for new applicants,” The New York Times reports. This cog in the mass deportation machinery had its intended result. When Ramos and husband, U.S. Army Staff Sergeant Matthew Blank, traveled to a military office to finish moving into his new base in Louisiana, she instead ended up detained. The 22-year-old – who has no criminal record, teaches Sunday school, and was just months away from finishing up bachelor’s degree in biochemistry – is now at a detention camp. “I grew up here like any American,” she told The New York Times. “This is all I know. My husband and family are here.” And Juan Chavez Velasco, who was also abducted despite holding valid DACA protections, remains separated from his newborn baby after attempting to deliver milk to her NICU unit last month. “Pulling a healthcare worker out of his job and separating him from his family during a medical crisis is inhumane, destabilizes families, weakens local economies, and once again displays the last thing this administration needs is tens of billions more for ICE and CBP, on top of the $150 billion they already have,” FWD.us said. Chavez Velasco’s DACA status expired while in detention and the paperwork he sent in last year to continue his deportation protections for another two years went ignored despite the federal government’s claim it continues to process renewals. “I feel betrayed,” he told MS Now. “I feel very sad and heartbroken because I would have thought that the Trump administration would be more compassionate towards people like me who contribute to the country and have basically lived here all our lives. I love this country. I love what I’ve been able to accomplish here.” Stories like these are “why we will not let justice end with Maria’s story,” the Home Is Here Coalition continued. “We will continue to fight to ensure Maria is able to stay with her family in the U.S., push for the immediate release and return of all other DACA recipients who have been wrongfully detained or deported, and demand a pathway to citizenship for the millions left vulnerable to violent anti-immigrant attacks. We hope that Maria and her family can begin to heal after surviving this trauma, and we carry her strength with us as we fight for justice and accountability for those who have not yet been able to see their loved ones again.” “This has been one of the most painful experiences of my life. As a mother, being separated from my child like that—feeling helpless, not knowing if she was okay—broke my heart in a way I can’t fully describe,” Estrada Juárez said. “I am grateful to the court for recognizing that what happened to me was wrong and for bringing me home. But no one should have to go through this.” The post Wrongly Deported DACA Recipient Returns Home To U.S. Following Judge’s Order appeared first on America's Voice.
