ICE’s Enormous New Budget Is a Boon for Private Prisons

Jesse Franzblau, the Associate Director of Policy with the National Immigrant Justice Center, joins The Freedom Side to discuss the dramatic expansion of the US deportation regime, as ICE raids surge and Trump signs the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” channeling billions more into detention centers, deportations, and a massive ICE hiring spree.

He will also break down the Supreme Court’s latest ruling stripping lower courts of the power to block presidential actions, a decision that hands Trump even greater authority to target immigrants, including US citizens.

ICE is now more funded than the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.
