US immigration enforcement is set for the most dramatic expansion in decades after the Republican-controlled Congress approved a budget bill that will fund President Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans.
The sweeping legislation, which Trump said he wants to sign by Friday, allocates more than $150 billion for the administration’s border and immigration crackdown. Most of the money will go to the Department of Homeland Security and its enforcement arms, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.
