Trump signs nearly $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement through end of term
SUMMARY
President Donald Trump has signed into law a nearly $70 billion funding bill for immigration enforcement agencies, including $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol, with $5 billion reserved for unforeseen costs. The measure, passed by House Republicans 214–212 over Democratic opposition, ends a six-month standoff that began after the fatal shooting of two U.S. citizens during a federal immigration operation in Minneapolis in January. Democrats had called for reforms, leading to a deadlock that resulted in the longest lapse in Department of Homeland Security funding in history. Republicans ultimately advanced the bill alone. The law provides three years of funding, front-loading annual appropriations to support the administration’s goal of deporting up to one million people per year. Earlier controversial provisions—$1 billion for White House security, including Trump’s new ballroom, and $1.8 billion for allies claiming political persecution—were removed due to political backlash. The GOP is emphasizing immigration enforcement as a central issue in the upcoming midterm elections.
