Immigration and Customs Enforcement deployments to American cities are a central part of President Trump’s immigration crackdown. A new NPR analysis found that they also left local cities with a huge bill.

In Los Angeles, the surge of immigration enforcement agents in June meant the LAPD had to spend big on overtime to respond to protests — around $17 million on overtime for just eight days in June. In Portland, a federal ICE facility in the city became a big protest site, and local police say their response times for service calls more than doubled because officers had to be at the building. Local cops were also left physically and emotionally exhausted.

In a statement, the White House told NPR that quote “illegal immigrants” unquote people who are in the U.S. illegally cost Americans more than $100 billion in 2023. NPR could not independently verify those numbers.
