DOJ Offers ‘BIDEN’ Grants for Cities to Recoup Losses from Biden Immigration Policies
Warner Todd Huston6 Aug 2026128
The Department of Justice is now offering $3 billion in “BIDEN” grants to help local municipalities recoup their losses incurred by Joe Biden’s destructive immigration policies.
The grants, being called the Bridging Immigration-related Deficits Experienced Nationwide (BIDEN) program, is one of the biggest grant programs the DOJ has ever offered and is aimed at helping cities hire more police officers, upgrade technology, and build temporary detention facilities for illegal migrants, the Washington Post reported.
But there is one provision that is non-negotiable. The municipalities that apply for the grants must pledge to work with federal immigration authorities as they carry out federal immigration policies. The jurisdictions that apply must agree to “fully participate” in the ICE 287(g) partnership that links local law enforcement to ICE and other federal immigration enforcement agencies.
“This Department of Justice is committed to ensuring Biden-era border disasters never happen again,” said Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward. “We are proud to once again champion law and order.”
