President Trump approves $70 billion immigration enforcement funding

President Donald Trump signed legislation that allocates roughly $70 billion in additional funding to the Department of Homeland Security through 2029. The bill earmarks about $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for Customs and Border Protection, and $5 billion for other DHS operations.

It also sets aside at least $350 million for costs related to enforcing immigration laws in jurisdictions that do not fully cooperate with federal authorities, often labeled sanctuary jurisdictions. Supporters describe the measure as a major investment in border security and immigration enforcement, while critics argue it expands federal enforcement powers without sufficient oversight or accountability provisions.
