House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries has issued a warning regarding President Donald Trump's proposed legislation known as the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB). Jeffries stated that if the bill passes, it would unleash "a deportation machine on steroids," significantly increasing deportations in the United States. He emphasized that the bill would allocate approximately $170 billion to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), making it the most heavily funded law enforcement agency in the federal government. This funding surge is expected to intensify immigration enforcement operations. Jeffries' remarks have been widely reported and cited in discussions about the bill's potential impact on immigration policy and enforcement.
