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