ICE is set to get $76.5 billion, nearly 10 times its current annual budget. Some $45 billion will go toward increasing detention capacity. Nearly $30 billion is for hiring 10,000 more staff so the agency can meet its goal of 1 million annual deportations. The White House has said ICE will grow from 20,000 employees to about 30,000.

The agency responsible for carrying out President Donald Trump's mass deportations agenda says it has already made tentative job offers to more than 1,000 people as it ramps up hiring following the passage of legislation earlier this month giving the agency a massive infusion of cash.

By Jonathan Stempel (Reuters) -Twelve Democratic members of Congress sued the Trump administration on Wednesday, accusing immigration officials of blocking their access to detention facilities housing noncitizens.

Colorado Rep. Jason Crow announced Wednesday that he is taking the Trump administration to court after he said he was denied entry to the ICE detention facility in Aurora earlier this month.
