Trump is treating ICE training like a game

Faith, did you know ICE agents get only 47 days of training before they're handed a gun and sent out into American streets?

Why 47? In honor of Trump being the 47th President, of course.

So the Trump administration is just picking these numbers in the name of vanity. Got it.

As Trump treats this like a fun little game, Americans are being shot and killed in the streets. Children are being swiped up by their backpacks by agents. Families are afraid to leave their homes to simply go to school or the grocery store.

If we're going to pick out some numbers to focus on, in addition to the egregiously short period of time these recruits spend on training before they are sent to cities with loaded guns and are told they have full immunity, here's a few more we should be considering:

$85 billion. That's how much funding ICE received from Trump in last year's Big, Ugly Bill. This made ICE the country's highest-funded law enforcement agency, all due to cuts to health care and food assistance funding.

$190 billion. That's how much overall funding was given towards Trump's DHS and immigration crackdown. That is bigger than the annual military budget of every country in the world — combined — except for the United States and China.

$10 billion. That's how much extra money Republicans want to give ICE right now. Because being the highest-funded law enforcement agency and beating out all but two countries' total military spending combined is not enough.

73,000. That's the record-high number of people detained by immigration enforcement as of January 2026. That's an 84% increase compared to this same time last year.

86% of those arrested by ICE during Trump's first year back in office had no violent criminal records. There has been a 2,450% increase in the number of people with no criminal record being held in ICE detention on any given day.

In 2025, more than 170 U.S. Citizens were held by immigration agents. Nearly 20 of them were children. 2 of those children had cancer.

At least 38 people have died while in ICE custody since Trump took office. 4 people were fatally shot by ICE agents.

These aren't just numbers. They're painful stories. They're human lives. They're evidence of a system fueled by vanity, driven by cruelty, and engineered for unchecked power — all paid for with our tax dollars.

This didn't happen overnight — and it won't be undone without sustained, people-powered pressure. The most immediate thing we can do right now is block more DHS funding and use our leverage to rein in the terror and violence coming from ICE right now. That's just the start — and I'm in this fight all the way.

Barack Obama Legacy Survey

Registered to: Faith Dillard Azzolina
Due: 02/12/2026 @ 11:59 PM
Survey Status: *INCOMPLETE*

PLEASE BEGIN NOW ➞

This is an exclusive survey. Your response is critical to protecting President Barack Obama’s legacy against continued attacks. Please respond by February 12th,2026.

It’s been nearly 10 years since President Obama left office, and he continues to fight tooth and nail against Trump’s presidency every day.

So Trump is acting like a petulant child and trying to ruin Barack Obama’s legacy!

FIRST: Trump moved Obama’s portrait to a hidden hallway in the White House.

THEN: Trump edited Obama’s White House plaque to call him “one of the most divisive political figures in American History.”

NOW: Trump posted a RACIST video depicting the Obamas as apes. It’s SICK.

Good Democrats cannot abandon Barack Obama in the face of Trump’s attacks… if we stay silent, Trump wins.

That's why we're asking top Democrats to participate in our Barack Obama Legacy Survey and defend Obama’s legacy against Trump’s disgusting attacks. So please, will you represent Virginia Democrats and begin your Barack Obama Legacy Survey now? >>

Thank you for supporting the Progressive Turnout Project. We’re a 100% grassroots-funded organization with a single mission: rallying Democrats to exercise their right to vote.

Our Mission: Rally Democrats to Vote.

DONATE TO BOOST DEMOCRATIC VOTER TURNOUT ➞

The best way to turn out voters is with one-on-one conversations.

Progressive Turnout Project is built around this truth, proven time and time again by researchers — including us. On average, our field work boosts voter turnout by more than 10 percent.

How are we different from everyone else sending you emails?

Our Turnout Teams talk to inconsistent voters who are likely Democrats, so they don’t need persuading on who to vote for. They just need a nudge, some information, and to hear from a real person. That means every eligible non-voter we’re able to reach brings Democrats closer to success on Election Day.

Compared to expensive TV ads, research has proven we have a much larger impact for our investment. Faith, that's why we send you so many emails. The success of our work can make or break an election. And we're entirely funded by grassroots donors.

There's an all-out assault on freedom of the press happening in our country right now.

First, GOP lawmakers worked to REMOVE federal funding from critical public media networks like PBS and NPR.

Then, Donald Trump tried to CENSOR late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Now, they're using the federal government to ARREST journalists like Don Lemon, who was reporting on protests in Minneapolis, AND one of the world's richest men made a move to DISMANTLE one of the top newspapers in America.

Donald Trump, the GOP, and all their billionaire buddies have directly caused the chaos and uncertainty our country is facing right now – and now they're doing absolutely everything they can to hide and obscure the truth. We cannot let them get away with it.

Please stand up for freedom of the press by chipping in $5 or more to help elect Democrats who will boldly fight to protect the First Amendment.
