House is set to fund Trump immigration actions for the rest of his time in the White House
· KRGV (NBC 5)
The House of Representatives has passed a bill providing nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement, which now awaits President Trump's signature. The legislation, approved by a narrow vote of 214-212, allocates $38 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), $26 billion to the Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen costs. This funding supports Trump's deportation agenda, aiming to deport around 1 million individuals annually. The bill faced opposition from Democrats, who criticized it as a 'slush fund' for ICE without necessary reforms. The funding is crucial for the Department of Homeland Security, which is under new leadership and pressure to meet deportation goals.
