De-escalation: House Passes $70 Billion ICE Funding Bill
The House approved a $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies and sent it to President Trump, ending a months-long funding impasse, according to CBS News, ABC7 and 2news.
The measure funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement and related agencies for the rest of Trump’s term—about three years—and passed narrowly and largely along party lines.
Within the package, about $38 billion is designated for ICE, with the remainder supporting other enforcement operations including Customs and Border Protection.
The new funding comes on top of the $140 billion Congress provided ICE and CBP last year.
NPR reports Trump has already signed the bill, while CBS News, ABC7 and 2news say House passage sent the measure to him for approval.
