A look at how Trump's big bill could change the US immigration system
President Donald Trump's spending cuts and border security package would inject roughly $150 billion into his mass deportation agenda over the next four years, funding everything from an extension of the United States' southern border wall to detention centers to thousands of additional law enforcement staff.
The current annual budget for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the government's primary department for immigration enforcement, is around $10 billion. If the Republican president's big bill passes in Congress, the immense cash infusion could reshape America's immigration system by expanding the law enforcement and detention network while increasing costs to legally immigrate to the U.S.

Federal Reserve Poised to Hand Wall Street a Big Gift
Wall Street is poised to receive a big gift courtesy of the Federal Reserve. The central bank unveiled plans to roll back an important capital rule that big banks have complained limits their ability to hold more Treasuries and act as intermediaries in the $29 trillion market. (The Fed's announcement confirmed proposed changes to the rule first reported by Bloomberg News last week.) The Fed board voted 5-2 on Wednesday to propose changes to what's known as the enhanced supplementary leverage ratio, which applies to the largest US banks—like Bank of America, JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs. The revisions would reduce holding companies' capital requirement under the ratio to a range of 3.5% to 4.5% from the current 5%. Their banking subsidiaries would see that requirement lowered to the same range from 6%.

Federal judge orders Labor Department to keep Job Corps running during lawsuit
NEW YORK — A federal judge on Wednesday granted a preliminary injunction to stop the U.S. Department of Labor from shutting down Job Corps , a residential program for low-income youth, until a lawsuit against the move is resolved. U.S. District Judge Andrew Carter made his decision after a hearing in Manhattan. It bolsters a temporary restraining order Carter issued earlier this month, when he directed the Department of Labor to cease removing Job Corps students from housing, terminating jobs or otherwise suspending the nationwide program without congressional approval.
