U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is planning to release tens of thousands of illegal immigrants due to a budget shortfall after the failure of a Senate border bill. ICE aims to slash its detention capacity and release up to 15,000 detainees to address the massive cash shortfalls, as Congress has not provided additional funding. The plan includes not accepting new migrants from the border to manage the financial deficit.
