ICE, Profits and Immigrant Detention
Donald Trump's immigrant detention and deportation policies have poured billions of dollars to ICE and have increased the profits of for-profit private companies who are creating private prison and immigration detention centers.

This includes $45 billion for building new immigration detention centers, $29.9 billion toward ICE’s enforcement and deportation operations, and limiting the number of immigration judges to 800 despite record backlogs in the immigration court system.
