House passes funding bill for ICE and Border Patrol

On Tuesday, Republicans’ sweeping immigration enforcement and border security package cleared the House, ending a months-long standoff with Democrats over funding President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown agenda. The $70 billion immigration enforcement measure passed 214-212 over the fierce objections of Democrats, who unanimously voted against the package. California Independent Representative Kevin Kiley who caucuses with Republicans, also joined Democrats in opposing the measure.

The Brief

    • House Republicans have passed a nearly $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies for the next three years.
    • The bill will provide $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol and another $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs.
    • It will now head to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.

WASHINGTON - A bill to provide nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement passed the House on Tuesday.

It passed by a vote of 214-212, over the objections of Democrats.

By the numbers:

The bill will allocate $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for the Border Patrol and another $5 billion to cover unforeseen costs.

What's next:

The bill now goes to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature. 

What they're saying:

"It's long overdue," said Johnson, R-La., of the bill. "We have to fund border security and immigration enforcement, and it's sad that Republicans have to do it on our own."

Big picture view:

The funding measure will fuel the administration's deportation agenda for the remainder of Trump's final term in office. 

The bill is in addition to the $140 billion that Congress approved for ICE and Customs and Border Patrol Protection last year under Trump's tax and spending cuts measure. 

The Senate voted on the legislation last week during an overnight session. The final vote was 52-47.
