That bed is an important part of the conversation–@ICEgov receives funding for that mission by the bed. The amount of money is connected to the number of beds it has–and that’s how many people it can have in its facility at any given time. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the problem with that: the need to process still exists. But if @ICEgov can’t do their job as intended, it falls to @CBP to do it. So rather than @CBP’s specific mission to be law enforcement on the border, they now are doing their job AND @ICEgov’s job of detention. — PolitiTweet.org
