blueskygdeltguardiantime.com · 3 blocs · 28d ago

A $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies has been approved by the House and Senate and now requires President Donald Trump’s signature to become law.

A $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies was approved by the House in a 214-212 vote, according to gdelt. House Republicans used their majority to pass the bill, with Speaker Mike Johnson requiring near-perfect attendance and unity among Republicans to secure passage, according to gdelt. The bill had previously passed the Senate, according to time.com. Democrats opposed the bill and sought to block funding for ICE and Border Patrol without immigration enforcement reforms, according to other. The bill allocates $38 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to gdelt. The legislation was delayed due to disputes over $1 billion for White House security and a $1.8 billion fund to compensate Trump’s allies, according to gdelt. A 75-day partial government shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security occurred due to the immigration funding impasse, according to time.com. That shutdown ended in April when Trump signed a bill funding DHS agencies not related to immigration enforcement, according to time.com. The Trump administration aims to deport approximately 1 million people per year, according to gdelt. The bill supports the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement efforts.
