Shireen Akram-Boshar
Summary
The Senate passed a $70 billion reconciliation package to fund President Trump's immigration enforcement crackdown, providing additional funding for ICE and CBP without any accompanying reforms to those agencies. The bill rewards agencies that have "terrorized communities across the country," according to Amnesty International. The funding package supports the administration's aggressive immigration enforcement policies but contains zero provisions for reforming ICE's practices or oversight.
