1. For what they accomplished, it was a total waste of taxpayers' money.

2. I want to see a breakdown of the cost per deported or incarcerated person

We are owed an explanation of how wisely our tax dollars are spent. How much did it cost to deported these people versus what they “cost us” by continuing their lives here.

3. Have they paid the $4.5M bill yet?

Or did they put the expenses on some government credit card that Trump will now refuse to pay?

5. Trump pays his rich pals. He screws over everyone else.

4. The Big Beautiful Bill had $45 Billion to ramp up deportations.

6. Honestly, that number seems too low

If you assume 2000 agents and 60 days lodging that’s less than $40 a day per agent. That would be a very good group rate booking at hotels and does not include food.
