House is set to fund Trump’s immigration actions for the rest of his time in the White House
The package would add to the $140 billion already provided last year and finance enforcement through the rest of Trump’s term.
- The House is set to vote on Tuesday on a $70 billion bill funding immigration enforcement through President Donald Trump's term, allocating $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen costs.
- This funding fight stems from January, when federal agents in Minneapolis fatally shot two protesters, prompting Democrats to demand enforcement reforms and triggering a 75-day partial government shutdown over Department of Homeland Security operations.
- The Senate passed the bill last Friday in a near party-line vote, rejecting amendments targeting the anti-weaponization fund; Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the administration is not pursuing it, though Trump has spoken positively about the idea.
- House Republican leaders remained uncertain Monday whether they have enough votes to pass the bill, while the party began planning for 'Reconciliation 3.0' despite Majority Leader Steve Scalise saying the party remains 'far from agreement on 3.0.'
- If signed by the president, this funding adds to the $140 billion agencies received last year under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, positioning the resources to fuel President Trump's deportation agenda through 2029.
