The Trump Administration’s immigration agenda, including expansion of immigration enforcement operations, directly harms communities. Significant increases in federal funds to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), specifically the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), will only escalate violent enforcement practices.
