Fund 100,000 immigration detention beds

The document says “shouldWho acts: CongressHow: legislationp. 143 in the PDF
What the document says

“ICE should be funded for a significant increase in detention space, raising the daily available number of beds to 100,000.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 143

The chapter asks Congress to mandate and fund additional detention space, raising the number of beds available each day to 100,000, and separately to fund at least 20,000 Enforcement and Removal Operations officers.

What the document actually says

“ICE should be funded for a significant increase in detention space, raising the daily available number of beds to 100,000.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 143
That sentence, in plain words

Give ICE money for many more beds. It should have 100,000 ready each day.

What this is about

ICE holds people while their cases are decided. It needs beds to do that. The book says it should have 100,000 beds. That is far more than it has now.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
