House passes $70B bill to fund immigration enforcement for 3 years, sending measure to Trump

The package provides three years of advance funding for ICE and Border Patrol and excludes Democrats’ proposed oversight reforms.

  • The House passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill to fund deportation efforts through 2029 despite unified Democratic opposition.
  • The bill allocates approximately $38 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion to Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen expenses supporting deportation efforts through fiscal 2029.
  • The vote was narrowly decided on party lines with 214 Republicans for and all Democrats against the bill.
  • Republicans used the reconciliation process to pass the legislation, avoiding a filibuster and enabling passage by simple majority.
