ICE budget now bigger than most of the world's militaries
Donald Trump wants to inject $150 billion into his immigration crackdown over the next four years.
www.newsweek.com
The Big Ugly Bill Passed The House!
The BUB, as of this writing, would actually add about $30 billion to ICE's base budget through Sept. 30, 2029, with another $45 billion for detention centers.
A network of detention and deportation camps? Who else had that?

I would like to add to your analysis that Kremlin logic is often quite different from Western logic. That's why Russia continues its war against Ukraine, no amount of losses will stop them, only a collapse of the Russian society can stop the war. So the frontline states need nukes.
