The White House says 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 frontloads routine annual funding, ensuring a virtually uninterrupted flow of money as the Trump administration some 1 million people per year.

needed near-perfect attendance and unity on his side to complete weeks of action. The legislation got sidetracked over $1 billion for White House security, including for Trump鈥檚 , and a $1.8 billion fund to compensate his allies who claim they have been unjustly investigated and prosecuted. Those proposals proved politically toxic and .

Now, the bill is focused entirely on immigration enforcement, a topic that Republicans have treated as a defining issue between the two major political parties and one they hope will carry them to victory in this year’s .

鈥淚t’s long overdue,鈥� said Johnson, R-La., of the bill. 鈥淲e have to fund border security and immigration enforcement, and it’s sad that Republicans have to do it on our own.鈥�

But Democratic Rep. Lloyd Doggett of Texas called it a 鈥渟lush fund for ICE.鈥�

Funding accelerates Trump’s deportation agenda

The funding comes on top of the nearly $140 billion that the Republican-controlled Congress gave ICE and Customs and Border Protection last year as part of .

Democrats objected to giving the agencies more money without significant changes in the way they operate after the deaths of and in Minneapolis. For example, Democrats insisted that agents remove masks and be required to display their ID badges during enforcement operations and that they get a judicial warrant before entering private property. Instead, the funding will come with virtually no strings attached.

Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Republicans weren’t focused on the top priorities of the American people and have cut access to Medicaid and nutrition assistance through Trump’s earlier tax and spending cut bill.

鈥淩epublicans have now come back for more, to give ICE and Donald Trump’s violent mass deportation machine another $70 billion blank check, with no oversight, no accountability and no guardrails,鈥� Jeffries said.

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise countered that Democrats were not adequately supportive of law enforcement.

鈥淢ake no mistake, if you’re voting yes, you’re not only voting to secure America’s border, you’re voting to fund law enforcement,鈥� Scalise said. 鈥淎nd if you vote no, you are voting to defund the police.鈥�

Homeland Security faced longest shutdown in history

The package is the result of in Congress after Democrats refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security in the wake of in Minneapolis and other American cities, leading to .

Negotiations had been underway with the White House to alter ICE operations as Democrats were demanding. When those negotiations failed, Republicans turned to to get around the filibuster and pass the immigration funding with no Democratic votes.

Rep. Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, the chairman of the Budget Committee, said the money would provide 鈥渞egular, normal funding鈥� that ICE and the Border Patrol would get through the annual budgeting process.

鈥淎nd we鈥檙e going to do it, not for one year, but for three years, so we don鈥檛 end up here again.鈥�

on the legislation last week during an overnight session. The final 52-47 vote on the bill was nearly party line, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska the only Republican to oppose it.

Money comes at pivotal time for Trump’s immigration agenda

The money will come at a pivotal time for the Department of Homeland Security, which is under new leadership after Trump replaced with new in March.

While to keep the department out of the headlines, the administration is under pressure from anti-immigration advocates to deliver on Trump鈥檚 campaign promise of in American history.

So far, the administration has not hit its goal of 1 million deportations a year, but Trump鈥檚 border czar, Tom Homan, has promised more to come, including hinting at immigration enforcement actions in New York, the nation’s biggest city, which is heavily Democratic.

At the same time, the administration is making it more difficult for legal immigrants to remain in the U.S. by working to end , changing the processes for and leaving some Dreamers 鈥� the young people who were brought illegally to the U.S. as children 鈥� reporting their status, which allows them to stay and work.

Lawmakers clash over DHS priorities

On the House side, Johnson had little margin for error. GOP leadership opted to avoid any hiccups and sent lawmakers home last week rather than take up the bill early Friday once the Senate had completed its all-nighter.

Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., ended up siding with Democrats on the party-line vote. Leading up to the vote, Democrats portrayed DHS as an agency that has used its new resources to buy private jets for its leadership, warehouse immigrants in deplorable conditions and attack U.S. citizens.

“Republican leadership likes to talk a lot about common sense, but where is the common sense in giving this federal agency essentially unlimited funds without a single reform in place?鈥� asked Rep. Pete Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic Caucus.

Republicans countered that they were fulfilling their duty to safeguard the nation and support the men and women charged with enforcing the law.

鈥淒emocrats can say whatever they want, but what it鈥檚 about is public safety. What鈥檚 it about is keeping Americans safe,鈥� said Rep. Michelle Fischbach, R-Minn.
