Republicans in Congress clear final hurdle for $70B boost in immigration enforcement

U.S. House Republicans approved a $70 billion immigration enforcement funding package without new operational guardrails for federal agents. The 214-212 vote sends the measure to President Donald Trump for expected signature, with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski and California Rep. Kevin Kiley opposing alongside Democrats. The legislation allocates $38.53 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26.02 billion to Customs and Border Protection over three years.
