The U.S. Senate approved $70 billion in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, authorizing support through the end of President Donald Trump's term. The vote occurred on Friday, June 4, 2026, according to corroborated reports. The bill passed with a vote of 52-47, according to the Hindu. The funding was approved roughly along party lines in the House, as reported by economictimes.indiatimes.com. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Senator Ron Wyden, D-Ore., participated in the vote, according to AP News. A $1.776 billion settlement fund associated with Trump's immigration policy sparked partisan disagreement and threatened to derail the bill, but the final version did not include limits on the fund. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told Republican senators the administration was dropping the settlement fund, according to DailyMail.com, but President Donald Trump declined to commit to dropping it and offered a positive description of the settlement fund, according to the same source. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin testified before the House Committee on Homeland Security on June 3, 2026, regarding the Fiscal 2027 budget request, according to AP News. The bill now heads to President Donald Trump's desk for signature, according to DailyMail.com.
