That's just for building concentration camps. The total allocations was something like $140B IIRC.

You can very easily lease a vacant warehouse the size of a city block for a half million dollars per year. Paying utilities, and adding the cages and torture equipment probably takes the cost up to a couple million dollars a year before you bring in the "guests" and feed them their delicious gruel. So going after unused Pep Boys warehouses means that Bannon and Miller have enough money to stand up THOUSANDS of these city-block-sized concentration camps every year.
