Trump signs bill giving nearly $70B to his immigration enforcement agenda through end of his term
· KRGV (NBC 5)
President Donald Trump has signed a bill that allocates nearly $70 billion to bolster his immigration enforcement initiatives through the end of his presidency. The legislation includes $38 billion for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26 billion for Border Patrol, with an additional $5 billion set aside for unexpected expenses. This funding comes after a contentious six-month debate, sparked by the deaths of two U.S. citizens during immigration operations. The bill was passed by House Republicans with a narrow 214-212 vote and is expected to support the deportation of approximately 1 million individuals annually over the next three years.
