AI Summary

The U.S. House is set to vote on a $70 billion package to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), following a 52-47 vote in the Senate. This measure aims to secure funding for immigration enforcement agencies through the remainder of President Trump's presidency. The Democrats have voiced strong opposition, introducing over 150 amendments to the bill. The funding arrives after a prolonged debate and a partial government shutdown linked to immigration enforcement policy that began in January 2026.
