The House of Representatives passed a $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement on Tuesday, sending the legislation to President Trump for signature. According to multiple reports the measure provides appropriations through the end of fiscal year 2029 for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security.

The bill allocates $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to CBP and $5 billion to DHS. ICE is set to receive $31 billion for enforcement operations and $7 billion for Homeland Security Investigations. Border Patrol receives $22 billion, including $13 billion designated for enforcement work.

An additional $5 billion supports border security technology and screening programs that include artificial intelligence systems. The appropriations may be spent through September 2029.

The vote followed a months-long legislative process that used budget reconciliation to advance the package. The Senate approved the measure last week. Rep. Tom McClintock stated on June 9, 2026, “This bill breaks the Democrats’ stranglehold over ICE and CBP funding.”

The legislation does not include new provisions for judicial warrants on home entries or mandatory body cameras that Democrats had sought. It also omits dedicated funding for internal oversight offices and requirements for de-escalation training that had appeared in earlier DHS appropriations bills.

One Democratic representative said the bill passed with “no guardrails” while directing $70 billion to ICE.

No publicly released evidence in the source materials documents the precise start date or triggering event of the impasse described in some outlets as a 115-day standoff. The sources describe the period variously as “months-long,” “monthslong impasse” or simply the time required to advance the reconciliation package.
