Trump Signs $70 Billion Homeland Security Funding Bill

President Trump signed a $70 billion Republican-led homeland security bill Wednesday after the Senate-crafted measure narrowly passed the House despite the GOP's slim majority. Speaking from the Oval Office alongside House Speaker Mike Johnson, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Majority Leader Steve Scalise and other lawmakers, Trump said he was "thrilled" to fund the Department of Homeland Security and give "heroes of ICE and Border Patrol" needed resources through the end of his term.

The bill provides funding for domestic law enforcement investigations and combating child exploitation. It continues work to restore law and order across the nation and to protect America's youth, the president said. House Republicans passed roughly $70 billion in funding for immigration enforcement. The package funds ICE and Border Patrol through the remainder of President Trump's term.

Murkowski voted against the bill in early June. The rest of the GOP argued that ICE and Customs and Border Protection must be fully funded through the remainder of Trump's term. California Rep. Pete Aguilar, a member of House Democratic leadership, said that giving a "$70 billion blank check to ICE" is the wrong move, claiming the agency has a record of "brutalizing (and) terrorizing" American communities.
