The US Congress on Tuesday passed a $70 billion funding bill for President Donald Trump's immigration agenda, sending the measure to the White House after months of partisan debate. The legislation allocates $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol and $5 billion for contingency costs through fiscal 2029. The legislation funds ICE and Border Patrol through 2029, advancing Trump's deportation agenda with virtually no Democratic support or operational restrictions.
The measure, which was largely approved along party lines, provides about $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, or ICE. The 214-212 vote, which was roughly along party lines, sends the partisan legislation to the White House for Trump's signature.
France 24 English reported the story as "US Congress approves $70 billion bill to fund Trump’s immigration crackdown." NBC News reported the story as "Republicans pass bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol through the end of Trump’s term."
