Mass Deportation: this is going to be expensive

Congressional Budget Office: “Federal troop deployments to US cities cost a total of $496 million in 2025, CBO estimates. Continuing current deployments will cost $93 million a month; 1,000 Guard personnel deployed to a city will cost at least $18 million a month.”

So, Homan knows the law

I found a Fox News interview from August 2025 where Border Czar Tom Homan acknowledges that ICE needs a judicial warrant to perform a search of private property -- contrary to an ICE memo that says agents only need an administrative warrant. Curious what he believes now.

he just doesn't want to follow the law under Noem and Trump.

Unfortunately you can’t sue the government for much of any of the illegal stuff it’s doing. Our corrupt Supreme Court has made it essentially impossible.

I heard there are 400 habeas petitions currently but IDK if that is just Minnesota or nationally. I know that the MN judge's list of orders ICE has violated had 100 cases and they were all habeas petitions. I'm not sure if the JustSecurity litigation tracker is capturing all of those as opposed to other kinds of lawsuits (it's at 606 right now)

Ah, but it starts at the local federal court level first. You can spend a lot of money before you reach SCOTUS. Plus they tend to have lawyers who miss deadlines, don't produce probable cause, etc. With a habeas petition the remedy is release, so if a person is released that might end a particular case without appeals courts ever hearing it.

You can’t get any money from a habeas case. There is no way hebeas cases will cost the government billions of dollars.

But successful claims under the Federal Torts Claim Act definitely cost the federal government taxpayer dollars.

And those are almost all barred by the discretionary function exception.

True. But it is looking like the Renee Good case may test that on Fourth Amendment protections. Fingers crossed.
