09 June 2026 15:00

The House passed a $70 billion bill to fund ICE and Border Patrol through Trump's term, ending a 115-day standoff. - The measure passed 214-212, using reconciliation to bypass Democrats.

- ICE gets $38 billion, more than three times its annual budget. - Border Patrol receives $22 billion, with $13 billion for enforcement.

- The funding lacks Democratic reforms like warrant requirements and body cameras. The bill now heads to President Trump for signature, insulating the agencies from annual funding battles for three years.
