YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) joins Jim Acosta to expose how the Trump administration and Stephen Miller are secretly purchasing detention facilities across the country — including in blue states like Maryland. Van Hollen reveals that ICE successfully bought a 1,500-person facility in Washington County despite massive community opposition, and that the administration is funneling money through agencies like the Navy to fund these camps.
The senator also breaks down the staggering numbers: $70 billion for ICE already in the "big beautiful bill" — seven times its annual budget — and now they're asking for $10 billion more. Van Hollen's response? "Not one more penny for this lawless operation."
Plus: The Kilmar Abrego Garcia case, why Van Hollen says ICE needs to be "stripped down to the floorboards," and his warning about Stephen Miller's "blood and soil" vision for America.
