#HouseRepublicans unveiled their #HomelandSecurity budget reconciliation bill late Sunday night.

It contains $46.5 BILLION for building the #BorderWall — nearly 3x as much as #Trump spent on the wall in his first term.

That would be enough money to fund the #immigration #courts for 55 yrs straight.

$5B for #CBP facilities
$4.1B for 3k new BP agents & 5k CBP officers

It does not include a budget for #ICE. That gets decided by #JimJordan’s #Judiciary Cmte on Wed.

Charlotte Pohl, 19, and Maria Lepere, 18 – two young German tourists, were handcuffed, dressed in prison uniforms, jailed overnight in Honolulu, Hawaii, then deported.

Their crime? Booking just two nights in a B&B. Victims of Trump’s ICE power-tripping.

This is not border control — it’s institutionalised terrorism.

Don't travel to US if you can avoid it.
