Trump Signs $70 Billion Bill To Fund Immigration Enforcement For 3 years

The measure passed the House by the slimmest of margins, 214-212, following a tense floor vote that remained deadlocked until the final moments.

At one point, the vote stood tied at 213-213, creating uncertainty about whether Republican leaders would be able to secure enough support to push the package across the finish line.

Moments later, a Republican lawmaker changed his vote, giving the bill the one-vote majority needed for passage.

The legislation now represents one of the most significant border security funding packages approved during Trump’s second term and locks in resources for immigration enforcement through January 2029.

The package allocates roughly $70 billion in supplemental funding.

According to congressional reports, approximately:

• $38.6 billion will go to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

• $22.6 billion will go to Customs and Border Protection (CBP)

• Nearly $5 billion will support broader Department of Homeland Security operations

• Additional funding will support child exploitation investigations and related law enforcement priorities
