Trump Signs $70 Billion Immigration Bill, Capping Lengthy Fight over ICE Funding
The package includes $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol after months of delays over Democratic immigration enforcement demands.
- On Wednesday, June 10, 2026, President Donald Trump signed the $70 billion Secure America Act in the Oval Office, funding U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol through the end of his term.
- This legislation ends a monthslong funding feud that began after the January deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti and Renee Good, during federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis.
- House Republicans approved the package 214-212 on Tuesday, bypassing the usual 60-vote Senate threshold while allocating $38 billion for ICE and $26 billion for Border Patrol.
- President Trump praised House Speaker Mike Johnson for passing the bill with a slim majority, calling ICE and Border Patrol agents "heroes" needing resources to "defend our borders, protect our homeland."
- The new law front-loads annual funding to support the administration's goal of deporting an estimated 1 million people per year, ensuring uninterrupted operations for immigration agencies.
