President Donald Trump’s promise of mass deportations will require an unprecedented amount of federal funding — much of it going to private contractors.

In February, Trump “Border Czar” Tom Homan and Budget Director Russell Vought told Senate Republicans that they desperately needed more money to carry out their immigration crackdown. Homan has previously said that it may cost $86 billion to fund the deportation plan the White House has outlined.
