Coupled with 150 billion USD for ICE, the same amount as for the Pentagon, what can go wrong?


The Pentagon’s budget is 900 billion per year. That 150bn ICE figure is over 4 years, so 37bn a year. You are wrong by a factor of 24x.


they still are giving ICE 4X the money as before to set up a first draft speedrun of a secret police force that can run around grabbing people off the street with no ID, masks on, and tossing them in white vans to imprison them without due process or court hearings and send them to 3rd world nations for indefinite internment. This is likely see if the public will stand against it.


Great, thanks for correcting the figure, my bad. The news reported 150bn for Pentagon but it appears this is just the money for a few specific projects.
