Overview

• The law allocates $170 billion for immigration enforcement, including $45 billion for ICE detention centers and $46.5 billion for the U.S.–Mexico border wall.
• ICE is awarding contracts to private prison firms like Geo Group and CoreCivic and to providers of temporary tent facilities to expand detention space.
• Agency officials plan to grow ICE staffing by roughly 10,000 officers and agents to manage new beds and enforcement operations.
• Federal targets call for doubling detention capacity to between 80,000 and 100,000 beds over four years and sustaining daily arrest quotas of 3,000 migrants.
• Immigrant rights groups raise alarms over increased private-sector oversight, potential due process violations and worsening conditions in expanded facilities.
