The plan allocates $29.8 billion to hire new staff and conduct deportations, $4.1 billion to Customs and Border Protection, and $45 billion for immigration detention. The plan also includes $46.5 billion for the construction of a border wall. The funding represents a substantial increase from ICE's 2024 funding, which stood at $9.9 billion. The plan is criticized for borrowing tax dollars from future taxpayers to deport immigrants.
