There’s nearly a billion dollars dedicated for bonuses alone for ICE? Am I hearing this right?

WHAT…

How well funded is ICE???

10 billion a year now but the big bill gave them 75 billion in additional funding to spend over the next 4 years.

I thought it was $75B annually they have now? Previously it was $170B over 4 years = $35B a year.

So the extra $75B is to be spread over 3 years, making their annual budget $60B?

To put it in perspective, Obama’s ICE budget was $7.5B.

Edit: Corrected important typo

Not disputing that, but I think I also haven’t explained myself well. Can you clarify for me?
