The bill, ushered through Congress by Republican leadership and signed by Trump Friday, includes $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, slashes spending on Medicaid, and creates temporary tax deductions for overtime and tipped income. It includes $170 billion for immigrant detention and for new personnel for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

It also launches a frontal assault on environmental and climate justice.
