House Republicans Advance $70 Billion Immigration Enforcement Funding Bill

House Republicans are moving forward with a nearly $70 billion bill to fund federal immigration enforcement agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), for the next three years, covering the remainder of President Donald Trump's term. The legislation allocates $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and an additional $5 billion for unforeseen costs, aiming to bolster the administration's deportation agenda. Earlier proposals for a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund for presidential allies and $1 billion for White House security were removed due to political opposition.
