House Republicans are voting on a $70 billion immigration enforcement package to fund ICE and Border Patrol through 2029, supporting President Trump's deportation agenda. The bill, which excludes earlier controversial proposals, comes after a lengthy government shutdown and Democratic demands for reforms.
Key facts: The package provides $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen costs. It passed the Senate 52-47 with only one Republican opposing.
Democrats oppose the bill, citing concerns about brutality and lack of oversight. The funding ensures uninterrupted operations for Trump's deportation goals, which have not yet reached 1 million deportations annually.
