ICE is funded through multi-year reconciliation packages (including the 2025 One Big Beautiful Bill Act and the 2026 Secure America Act) that provide tens of billions available through FY2029, covering the rest of Trump’s term. This is separate from regular annual DHS appropriations and shields it from most shutdown risks.
Where do the dinghies go after the parasites get of it? Most of the time the boats never actually reach the beach.French vessels usually escort the dinghies to the middle of the Channel, where Border Force, RNLI lifeboats, or Coastguard pick them up and bring everyone to Dover — usually the Western Jet Foil facility. The boats themselves get seized and held as criminal evidence until any investigation or prosecution wraps up. After that, a specialist team destroys them, typically within forty-four days, so they can't be reused. They also pull intelligence off the engines and hulls to trace the smuggling supply chains upstream. Border Force doesn't sell them or send them back to France, and most aren't seaworthy anyway after the crossing and recovery. The Home Office says it's seized over eleven hundred boats and engines since the last election.
@MarioNawfal Because the wheels on the lifter are so small the floor will have to be absolutely clean at all times or the dirt will jam the wheels. Extra people will be needed to clean the floor regularly.
