ICE expanded to 22,000 officers with $170B in funding, enabling widespread raids and sparking national debate.

With $170 billion in additional funding from a Republican-passed spending bill, Trump's administration has significantly increased ICE's force to 22,000 officers, more than most large city police departments. Protests and worries about civil liberties are sparked by the surge, which permits aggressive domestic enforcement, including door-to-door raids in places like Minneapolis and Los Angeles. The focus has shifted inland, with officials aiming for 1 million annual deportations and 100,000 daily detentions, despite a decrease in illegal border crossings. Recently, the Supreme Court permitted the use of race as a factor in immigration stops. Republicans support enforcement, while Democrats want to limit ICE. Congress has a deadline of January 30 to fund Homeland Security. International leaders, such as French President Emmanuel Macron, have criticized Trump's plans for Greenland and proposed tariffs, warning that the EU may use its anti-coercion mechanism to block U.S. firms.
