Republicans push $70B for immigration enforcement through US Senate, with no limits on ICE

The U.S. Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement package on June 5, 2026, with a 52-47 party-line vote. The measure funds immigration and deportation activities for three years without new restrictions on federal agents, following Democratic withdrawal from negotiations. Senator Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican to oppose the bill, criticizing its bypass of annual funding processes.
