Washington this week: House to debate $70 billion immigration funding bill
The bill directs $30 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and billions more to Customs and Border Protection with minimal spending limits.
- Starting Monday, the House will reconvene to debate a $70 billion reconciliation bill that would fund President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda through his term.

- Some moderate Republicans are pushing for restrictions on a potential $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund, though Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche previously stated the administration would not pursue it.
- Separately, the House recently passed an appropriations bill for the Agriculture Department that cuts food benefits; Republicans argue the remaining $8 billion is sufficient despite rising prices from the war in Iran.
