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

The U.S. Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement funding package on June 5, 2026, with a 52-47 party-line vote. The measure provides three years of funding without new restrictions on federal immigration agents, bypassing annual budget negotiations. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski opposed the bill, criticizing its bypass of the standard funding process and lack of funding constraints.
