Senate Passes $70 Billion Immigration Funding Bill
· Texas Border Business
The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill early Friday, securing resources for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Border Patrol for the remainder of President Trump's term. The bill was approved with a 52-47 vote and will now move to the House, which is anticipated to address it next week. The vote followed extensive debates and the rejection of several amendments aimed at altering the funding. This legislation comes after previous appropriations for other Department of Homeland Security operations, leaving ICE and Border Patrol funding unresolved until this vote.
