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

In 2025, Congress approved the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” which provided an additional $75 billion supplemental funding package for ICE.

That legislation significantly expanded the agency’s resources beyond its traditional annual operating budget of roughly $10 billion.

When spread across multiple years, the 2025 funding package effectively elevated ICE’s annual resources to nearly $29 billion per year, making it the most heavily funded federal law enforcement agency in the country.

Tuesday’s vote builds on that foundation.

Rather than relying on future appropriations battles, the new legislation guarantees funding levels through the remainder of Trump’s presidency.

For the White House, that represents a major strategic victory.

The administration has repeatedly emphasized immigration enforcement as one of its central priorities and campaigned heavily on promises to secure the southern border, expand detention capacity, increase deportations, and strengthen federal immigration enforcement operations.
