House GOP backs $70B immigration enforcement package via reconciliation
TL;DR
The House approved a nearly $70 billion, three-year funding package for ICE and Border Patrol using the budget reconciliation process, moving the measure to President Trump’s desk on a party-line vote of 214-212. The package adds roughly $65 billion to ICE/CBP beyond last year’s funding, plus $5 billion for discretionary DHS use, and includes changes pushed by DHS Secretary Mullin, such as new training rules and oversight while Democrats pressed for reforms; some Republicans warned the tactic could backfire and signaled more reconciliation packages could follow before year’s end.
