Summary
$70 billion in new funding became law on June 10, giving ICE and Customs and Border Protection guaranteed money through September 2029 and ending a 75-day partial Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
The measure broke a months-long congressional standoff after House Republicans pushed it through 214-212 and the Senate approved it 52-47, with Democrats opposing the bill over enforcement practices.
$38.5 billion goes to ICE, $22.6 billion to CBP, $3.5 billion to border technology, and $5 billion to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin for discretionary spending.
Democrats failed to add body-camera rules, mask limits and judicial-warrant requirements for home entries, leaving agencies funded without the guardrails they had demanded.
The three-year appropriation bypasses annual funding fights until after Trump leaves office, further expanding agencies that already received a $75 billion boost under last year's law.
