A sweeping #tax & spending #bill passed by #House #Republicans would devote an estimated $150B to #immigration enforcement, an unprecedented sum that seeks to deliver #Trump’s goal of mass #deportations & lock down the US Mexico border.

The bill would provide funding for 10k new immigration enforcement officers & $46.5B for a *wall* along the border while placing new *fees* on applications for #asylum & other #humanitarian protections.

#Trump aims to deport record numbers of immigrants…but has complained that US #courts & existing #laws have slowed the effort. #ICE guidance…directed officers to consider all immigrants previously released for expedited removal if they had not affirmatively applied for #asylum.

After arriving in 2015, Ortiz was released to pursue her #asylum claim when an officer found she had a credible fear of #persecution, docs show. But she never received an #immigration court hearing notice & was ordered deported after failing to show up to court in 2018.

Ortiz’s immigration lawyer requested #humanitarian relief from the US govt on Jan 8, saying she faced danger in #ElSalvador & that her son would not have access to services for #autistic children.
