Pres. Trump sent a supplemental spending request to Congress to fund the government for the remainder of FY2017 that includes a large increase in spending for the Department of Homeland Security. The request includes funding for new barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border, more Border Patrol and ICE agents, and expanded detention facilities.
Several items in the request are included on NumbersUSA's '10 Steps to Fix our Broken Immigration Enforcement System', including improving cooperation between ICE and state and local governments in immigration enforcement and increased detention space to help expand expedited removal orders.
