Trump signs $70B Secure America Act funding ICE through 2029
Confirmed
What we know
President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act (S. 2) on Wednesday, locking in roughly $70 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection through fiscal 2029. Flanked by House GOP leaders in the Oval Office, he said the package would “fully fund” DHS immigration enforcement through the end of his term and praised ICE and Border Patrol as “heroes.”
The House cleared the reconciliation bill Tuesday night 214–212 after the Senate’s 52–47 vote last week; no Democrats supported it in either chamber. Passage followed months of deadlock, including intra-GOP resistance to a proposed $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that the Justice Department later said it would not pursue. Democrats called the measure a blank check for aggressive deportation operations.
