17. 20 agents in full battle gear, several vehicles, probably 2-3 hours of their time, plus an ambulance.

All to grab one harmless old woman off the street.
I'll bet that operation cost at least $10,000.
Multiply this bullshit by maybe 50-100 operations a day, and the amount of money spent to support this operation goes into the mega millions really quick.
And that's just the street level stuff. All the support for this anti-american, fascist operation will easily bring the whole thing up to way over $1 billion a month.

One thing to remember, the "big beautiful bill" allows for thousands more ICE agents, and huge expansion of all their equipment and facilities, including bigger detention centers.

One wonders what they plan to do with this gestapo-like secret police force after they're done deporting people.
