House Republicans Pass and President Signs 'Reconciliation 2.0' Providing $70 Billion for ICE and CBP

House Republicans passed a second reconciliation bill, referred to as 'Reconciliation 2.0,' by a party-line vote of 214-212. The bill, which had previously cleared the Senate, was signed into law by the President, allocating over $70 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This funding was secured outside the regular appropriations process after a previous Department of Homeland Security spending bill did not include additional funds for these agencies.
