New spending in the small arms category totaled $71,515,762. Most of that money went toward guns and armor, but ICE also bought chemical weapons and "guided missile warheads and explosive components." Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" gave $170 billion for immigration enforcement and border measures, including $75 billion in additional funding for ICE. If immigration enforcement was a national military, it would be the 13th most heavily funded in the world. We have no choice but to #AbolishICE as soon as possible!
