Overview

• Sen. Lindsey Graham emphasized the need for Congress to allocate funds to support President Trump's mass deportation strategy, led by border czar Tom Homan.
• Graham proposed two bills: one for $100 billion to address border security and another for $200 billion for national security needs.
• The funding would be used to hire more ICE agents, expand detention bed capacity from 41,000 to 150,000, and complete the border wall.
• Graham warned that failing to act quickly could lead to national security vulnerabilities, potentially leaving Republicans politically accountable for future attacks.
• While acknowledging logistical challenges, Graham highlighted the focus on deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records or gang affiliations.
