Today President Trump signed the $70 billion reconciliation 2.0 package (S.2) after House Republicans passed the measure by a 214-212 vote. The legislation will fund the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) immigration enforcement for three years. The Senate previously approved the bill on June 5, in a 52-47 vote.

New immigration enforcement funding is expected to supply the Trump Administration with the resources it needs to pursue its immigration agenda through the remainder of President Trump’s term. The bill includes the following funding:

• $38.5 B for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)
• $26 B for Customs and Border Protection (CBP)
• $5 B for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)

Senate Republicans removed the $1 billion Secret Service funding from the reconciliation package, which was intended to fund White House ballroom security.

In addition, the bill’s “anti-weaponization fund” drew opposition from Democrats and some moderate Republicans, but the final bill does not scale back or block the establishment of the fund. Three Republicans in tough Senate races this fall joined Democrats in voting for an amendment to prevent the Justice Department from ever creating an “anti-weaponization fund” like the one President Trump proposed. Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), and Jon Husted (R-OH) voted in favor of the amendment, which ultimately failed 49-50. In addition, two federal judges are set to hold separate hearings this week on the Trump administration's scuttled $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization fund," despite vows from the Department of Justice that the controversial plan is "not going forward."
