Lawmakers in the US had the option to spend $97B on something meaningful like addressing homelessness. That amount of money would cover housing and wrap around services for a significant portion of those affected for at least 5 years. Instead they chose to fund ICE to terrorize the US’s own communities, immigrants and citizens alike.
