Congress voted to give ICE and CBP another $70 billion through 2029.
"There is no question that this bill passing will make it incredibly difficult to reverse the creation of a huge deportation machine at the hands of President Trump,” @naynagupta.bsky.social tells @washingtonpost.com.

ICE and CBP will be able to keep spending money at a scale that will transform immigration enforcement and with fewer checks and balances.
The 2026 World Cup kicks off in 2 days, and immigrant stories are powering the U.S. Men's National Team.
Over a third of the roster are children of immigrants, like Weah and Pepi, proving that soccer, like America, thrives on diversity.
Good luck to #teamusa at this summer’s World Cup! ⚽️
Instead of working to create a more functional immigration system, the Trump admin is doing everything possible to cut off the avenues that currently exist for people to come to the U.S. lawfully, maintain their status while here, and feed themselves and their families throughout the process.
DHS Secretary Mullin's plan to pull CBP officers from major airports could disrupt travel, impact key industries, and affect hundreds of thousands of Americans. This new proposal raises serious questions about federal authority over state cooperation.

The Trump administration’s immigration policies have overshadowed the World Cup.
“We want the World Cup to happen because it’s a meeting of countries across the world, an exchange of cultures, a unifying moment around the beautiful game,” said Rich André, senior policy adviser at the Council. ⤵️

The Trump administration proposed a rule that would make it harder for many immigrants to work to support themselves and their families. This includes DACA recipients, asylum seekers, and spouses of skilled workers.
The result would be more instability for families, businesses, and communities.
Congress passed the Secure America Act in June 2026, allocating $69.5 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through 2029 using the reconciliation process. The law dramatically expands federal immigration enforcement funding while limiting congressional oversight and bypassing the traditional appropriations process.
Experts from the American Immigration Council urge us to move beyond all-or-nothing approaches to enforcement and lay out a practical framework that fits what most US Americans actually want.
