U.S. House Republicans approved a $70 billion immigration enforcement funding package, allocating $38.53 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26.02 billion for Customs and Border Protection, without new operational guardrails. The 214-212 vote sent the bill to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign it, following Senate approval with only Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski opposing.
