US EditionKey Medicaid provision in Trump’s big tax cut and spending bill is found to violate Senate rules
- The Senate passed the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' on border security and immigration funding in mid-2025, requiring a tie-breaking vote to pass.
- The bill responds to high illegal crossings and drug trafficking challenges during the Biden administration, which saw increased border encounters and fentanyl smuggling.
- It authorizes $168 billion for enforcement, including nearly $47 billion to complete the border wall and funds to hire thousands of new agents with advanced surveillance technology.
- Crossings fell 94% from Biden's peak by early 2025, and scanners now inspect every cargo container, vehicle, and parcel to intercept fentanyl hidden in items like spare tires.
- The legislation includes provisions aimed at detaining migrants awaiting hearings, ending catch and release, and removing violent criminals, while some oppose the Medicaid changes it entails.
