House passes $70B bill to fund immigration enforcement for 3 years, sending measure to Trump
The bill provides $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26 billion for Border Patrol, with virtually no new restrictions.
- On Tuesday, the House passed a bill providing nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement, sending the measure to President Donald Trump for his signature to fuel his deportation agenda.
- Republicans utilized their majority to secure the bill, funding Homeland Security agencies through the next three years as party leaders view immigration enforcement as a defining midterm election issue.
- The White House stated the bill allocates $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol, and $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs ensuring uninterrupted funding flow.
- Democrats opposed the 214-212 vote, citing lack of reforms following deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good; Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas called it a "slush fund for ICE."
- Funding supports the Department of Homeland Security under new Secretary Markwayne Mullin as Trump's administration aims to deport 1 million people annually, following abandonment of earlier controversial proposals.
