Trump signs bill giving nearly $70B to his immigration enforcement agenda through end of his term

President Donald Trump signed a bill allocating nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement through the end of his term, including $38 billion for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26 billion for the Border Patrol. The legislation followed a six-month funding dispute sparked by the January 2020 deaths of two U.S. citizens during federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis and was passed by House Republicans over Democratic objections.
