Democrats wanted oversight. Republicans approved $70 billion instead

This morning, President Trump is about to get a major win on one of his top priorities

The House has narrowly passed a bill that pours nearly $70 billion into immigration enforcement

and border security, sending it to the president's desk for his signature

The measure passed 214 to 212 on a nearly party line vote

It would lock in funding for ICE and Border Patrol through the remainder of Trump's term

The White House says the package includes $38 billion for ICE, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and billions more for operational costs

Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson, say the bill ensures the administration has the resources it needs to carry out its deportation agenda without having to return to Congress year after year

There is not a Democrat here who voted to support that. But what we've done now by funding it for three years is we've taken away their ability to cut that funding

to block that funding or to take hostage the funding for the remainder of the Trump administration

Democrats fought the bill from start to finish, arguing it adds tens of billions of dollars to ICE and border enforcement

without new oversight or reforms. Congressman Pramala Jayapal called it a $70 billion slush fund

to the lawless and unaccountable agencies of ICE and CBP with zero reforms

The bill now heads to the White House, where Trump will sign it later today
