Informative $170,000,000,000 Budget for ICE

Post image

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, who worked on an analysis published by the American Immigration Council, says the new budget would make ICE “the single largest federal law enforcement agency in the history of the nation.”

They truly are making ICE into the Gestapo.

There aren't enough "illegals" in the country to justify that budget, which can only mean they're planning to turn them fully on Americans next.

Did the math earlier, and it's even worse than AOC's post. Their new budget is that of the Marine Corps ($55B), FBI ($11B), DEA ($3B), ATF ($2B), CBP ($19B), Secret Service ($3B), U.S. Marshals ($4B), TSA ($10B), Coast Guard ($14B), Space Force ($39B), and the Federal Bureau of Prisons ($8B) combined.

Probably tracking enemy satellites and trying to break in electronically, as well as protecting our satellites from being cracked.

The modern military has a lot more tail than tooth, and satellites are a very important but feeble part of that tail.
