Perhaps most telling is that by signing onto the WEXMAC TITUS program, vendors are contractually not allowed to refuse ICE jobs.
“So if there was a US citizen—a baby, or someone sick that clearly shouldn’t be there—the contractor can’t say they don’t want to take them," a fed worker told me.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

CBO significantly raised its projections of the interest rate the government pays on its debt. This is a key driver of debt/gdp sustainability.
It also means higher interest rates on credit card debt, auto loans, mortgages, etc. And it means higher prices, since business investments cost more.
