19:02Now PlayingThe massive Trump deportation machine is now a permanent part of American life, as millions take to the streets for the No Kings protests against the super-charged ICE crackdown in cities like Chicago.
We take a deep dive into the $170 billion system, asking how the President's expanded executive power has fueled the biggest immigration enforcement action in US history.
Protesters in cities across America reject what they see as authoritarian moves and growing concerns that President Trump will use the Insurrection Act to carry out his plans.
The President’s "One Big Beautiful Bill" has given Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) a nearly $29 billion budget, making it the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in US history. This massive funding push is powering mass arrests, with daily detentions hitting new highs of nearly 60,000.
We examine the human cost of a system critics say is designed to arrest any undocumented immigrant, not just the "worst of the worst." As the No Kings rallies spread to over 2,500 locations across all 50 states, this video asks: is mass immigration enforcement now a permanent part of daily life for tens of millions of Americans?
With thanks to Dr Deirdre Conlon, Kathleen Bush-Joseph and Daniel Di Martino.
