The Deportation Industrial Complex Massive Funding Growth and How Its Spreading Into Policing and Prisons

published on 10/11/25

“The One Big Beautiful Bill” triples ICE funding and nearly doubles border patrol funding, adding $75 Billion over a 4 year period.

 

On 1/20/ 2025, Trump signedExecutive Order (EO) 14159, “Protecting the American People Against Invasion”, a neocolonial effort to further unite the prison industrial complex with the deportation industrial complex.  Previously united by for profit prisons and detention centers ran by Core Civic and Geo Group.

Through the 287(g) Program there are currently 1,034 local law enforcement and state agencies who are collaborating with ICE for more funding. Disbursing ICE funds to local law enforcement and prisons while providing more equipment to imprison more people.

ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations operates three 287(g) models:

  • The Jail Enforcement Model is designed to identify and process removable people — with criminal or pending criminal charges — who are arrested by state or local law enforcement agencies.
  • The Task Force Model serves as a force multiplier for law enforcement agencies to enforce limited immigration authority with ICE oversight during their routine police duties.
  • The Warrant Service Officer program allows ICE to train, certify and authorize state and local law enforcement officers to serve and execute administrative warrants on people in their agency’s jail.
