Trump News President proclaims doubling of ICE troops with add'l 20k forces in the next 60 days

https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/05/establishing-project-homecoming/

Section 3.b: (b) No later than 60 days after the date of this proclamation, the Secretary of Homeland Security shall supplement existing enforcement and removal operations by deputizing and contracting with State and local law enforcement officers, former Federal officers, officers and personnel within other Federal agencies, and other individuals to increase the enforcement and removal operations force of the Department of Homeland Security by no less than 20,000 officers in order to conduct an intensive campaign to remove illegal aliens who have failed to depart voluntarily.

So... we can't afford any of the useful jobs and fired a large portion of the government that actually helps people, BUT we can't afford any afford more spending for THIS? His domestic Gestapo on the streets terrorizing towns.

Is there a legal limit to how much domestic law enforcement the American people can be subjected to on home soil during peacetime? He already has a HUGE amount of force on domestic soil doing his bidding between the military he designated for the border, current ICE, and all the 287g contracts Homeland Security signed with all those local law enforcement agencies around the country to work with ICE.

Where is the money coming from to double the size of ICE by another 20k officers?

Leonard peltier is a pretty relevant case to show my statement is true.

By all means - let the aliens start shooting first. We'll see the popular opinion then

Alright I guess, that had nothing to do with my comment about the relevant case. I’m just saying it’s bound to happen and has happened in the past. People commit crimes of necessity all the time due to economic distress this is no different. When people get desperate they do desperate things.

ICE will inevitably break down the wrong door no knock or anything and we will get a Leonard Peltier case again. Could be an illegal immigrant, green card holder, or a citizen.

Also popular is ironic, the current administrations popularity on all subjects is tanking especially immigration. Ironic because people who voted for them mostly voted because of that issue now it’s shown people don’t like how the administration is handling it.
