Trump wants to deport millions of illegal immigrants, but agency doesn't have the money: Report

The United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is facing a funding shortfall of $2 billion for this year, Axios reported on Friday, citing two people familiar with the matter. The report states that the agency's expenses have shot up amid President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown.

ICE has struggled with budget shortfalls in recent years, but the financial strain has worsened as the agency attempts to meet Trump's directive to deport "millions" of unauthorized immigrants. This effort requires extensive resources, including increased staffing, additional detention facilities, and more transportation for deportations.
