House Republicans on Tuesday approved three years of funding for immigration enforcement without any new guardrails on how federal agents operate.<\/p>\n

The 214-212 vote sent the nearly $70 billion package to President Donald Trump, who is expected to sign the measure. Republican senators approved the bill earlier this month, with Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski the only GOP member in opposition.<\/p>\n

Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., who conferences with Republicans, voted no along with Democrats.<\/p>\n

Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., argued Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol need the additional funding so they can deport anyone in the country without proper authorization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey want you to think that it\u2019s just everybody coming in to seek the American dream,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have a legal method for that to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scalise then read a list of Americans killed by people who were present in the United States without legal status.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not some hypothetical. It\u2019s happened over and over and over again,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said he opposed Republicans\u2019 plans to \u201cgive a blank check to ICE without any guardrails, any oversight, or any accountability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump promised America that he would target violent felons who are here illegally, but instead taxpayer dollars are being used by ICE and his violent mass deportation machine to target and brutalize American citizens, in some cases killing them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jeffries contended that \u201cimmigration enforcement should be fair, just and humane\u201d and that ICE \u201cneeds to conduct itself\u201d according to the same standards other law enforcement agencies follow.<\/p>\n

Funds will stretch over 3 years<\/strong><\/p>\n

The legislation will provide $38.53 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26.02 billion for Customs and Border Protection and $5 billion for the secretary of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

The funding, which lasts through September 2029, is in addition to the $170 billion Republicans provided in their \u201cbig, beautiful\u201d law. About $100 billion of that remains unspent, according to Democrats.<\/p>\n

Republicans opted not to place any new constraints on how federal immigration agents operate or provide additional funding for oversight, despite officers killing two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in January.<\/p>\n

Those shootings led Democrats in Congress to demand new restrictions on officers, prompting weeks of bipartisan negotiations during a 76-day shutdown at the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

That stalemate ended in April after lawmakers approved DHS\u2019 annual appropriations bill without funding for ICE or the Border Patrol. Republicans had to remove those provisions to move the legislation through procedural votes in the Senate that require the support of at least 60 lawmakers.<\/p>\n

A new path<\/strong><\/p>\n

Republican leaders then turned to the complex budget reconciliation process to provide three years of funding for ICE, CBP and the DHS secretary without requiring any changes to how they operate.<\/p>\n

The special legislative pathway allows bills to move through the Senate with simple-majority votes as long as they adhere to certain rules.<\/p>\n

Senate Republicans originally included, but later removed, $1.46 billion for several Department of Justice programs and $1 billion for the Secret Service to make security upgrades linked to the new White House ballroom, also called the East Wing Modernization Project.<\/p>\n

The funding for ICE, CBP and the DHS secretary clears the way for the Trump administration to continue its immigration crackdown until just a few months before his second term is scheduled to end.<\/p>\n
