US EditionTrump’s Big Bill Is Powering His Mass Deportations. Congress Is Starting to Ask Questions
WASHINGTON, UNITED STATES, AUG 11 – The $170 billion funding nearly doubles the Department of Homeland Security budget to support expanded immigration raids, detention centers, and record deportation efforts, officials said.
- On July 4, 2025, President Trump signed a Republican bill into law providing nearly $170 billion to the Department of Homeland Security.
- This increase in funding came after Tom Homan and other officials urged for financial support to advance the administration's intensified efforts on securing the border and carrying out widespread deportations.
- The legislation provides nearly $30 billion to support ICE personnel and allocates an additional $45 billion for detention centers, enabling expanded efforts to apprehend migrants from workplaces and communities.
- DHS Assistant Secretary McLaughlin said the department pursues all options to expand bedspace, while analyst Bush-Joseph described this as a 'whole of government' shift moving enforcement inward.
- Lawmakers from both parties are raising oversight questions as detention centers stand up and ICE expands raids, while Trump's approval on immigration has slipped to 43% in July polling.
