Fear as senator discovers staggering true amount Trump spent on arming ICE - Lemmy.World

They’ve amassed missiles armed with warheads. Let that sink in and realize what they really are, because it’s not a force for immigration enforcement, it’s an army simping for Trump. They will be weaponized at a much greater scale in the future certainly.

The article you linked makes no mention of this. What is the basis for this claim?

Claims were made months ago: motherjones.com/…/ice-spending-small-arms-weapons…

Corrections that info were made a bit after that which I was unaware of: wired.com/…/no-ice-probably-didnt-buy-guided-miss…

ICE’s spending on weaponry has soared more than 600 percent this year

The $71.5 million spent so far has paid mostly for guns, armor, and chemical munitions.
