How much are you paying for Trump's mass deportation agenda?
We used data from National Priorities Project to show how much taxpayers in each state are paying into ICE and CBP's $240 billion slush fund.
Find your state. Then tell your members of Congress to take back our money: https://act.nilc.org/page/100389/action/1

This only includes the tax burden, not the ancillary cost of losing the economic value the deported immigrants were providing.
Or the lawsuits that follow closely behind each ice agent
Really great point
It looks like the ICE budget divided by the population. Which makes it kinda true since it's all being thrown on the debt. At the same time though, tax burden by state isn't evenly distributed by population.
Billions spent to deport a small number of people, who will come back anyway, and it's insane
If they haven't had their organs harvested yet and tossed in the scrap pile. Anyone who was unjustly detained and deported deserves full citizenship.
