House Republicans have approved a $70 billion budget reconciliation package to fund President Trump’s immigration crackdown through the end of his term — again bypassing Congress’s annual appropriations process. The measure now heads to Trump’s desk to be signed into law, ending a monthslong funding standoff between Republicans and Democrats following the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis. This funding package comes in addition to the $170 billion already approved for ICE and Border Patrol last year as part of Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill. Democratic Congressmember Maxwell Frost said on social media, “Instead of investing in you and ensuring you can afford your healthcare, groceries, or rent — they chose to hand $70 BILLION to agencies operating without any guardrails while terrorizing and brutalizing our communities.”
