House to Vote on $70 Billion Immigration Bill After Senate Clears It

Summary
$70 billion in new funding could reach the House floor as soon as Tuesday, financing immigration enforcement through the rest of Trump's term after Senate approval Friday.
The bill would pay for more ICE and CBP agents, deportations and border-security upgrades, adding to the $140 billion those agencies received last year under Trump's tax-and-spending law.
Republicans are using budget reconciliation to pass it with a simple majority, while Democrats led by Hakeem Jeffries say they will oppose the measure.
The vote follows a months-long funding fight that helped trigger a 75-day partial shutdown and could revive controversy over an anti-weaponization fund tied to Jan. 6 defendants.
