The House is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a $70 billion Republican bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies through the remainder of President Donald Trump's term in office, ending a months-long congressional standoff.

The legislation allocates $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, $26 billion for Border Patrol, and $5 billion for unforeseen costs. The funding would support Trump's deportation agenda through 2029, coming on top of nearly $140 billion already provided to ICE and Customs and Border Protection last year.

Speaker Mike Johnson will need near-perfect Republican attendance and unity to pass the bill, as his party can afford to lose only a few votes. The legislation was previously sidetracked when Republicans attempted to include $1 billion for enhanced White House security and nearly $1.8 billion to compensate Trump allies who claim unjust investigation and prosecution. Those provisions were ultimately scrapped as politically toxic.

The bill emerged from a prolonged impasse after Democrats refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security following immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis and other cities, resulting in what sources describe as the longest agency shutdown in history. Negotiations between the White House and Congress to alter ICE operations failed, leading Republicans to pursue procedural measures to bypass Democratic opposition.

The Senate passed the legislation last week in a 52-47 vote that was largely along party lines, with Alaska Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski as the only GOP member to oppose it. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has vowed his party will oppose the package, arguing taxpayer dollars should make life more affordable rather than provide what he called a "blank check" to ICE.

The funding comes as the Department of Homeland Security operates under new leadership, with Secretary Markwayne Mullin replacing Kristi Noem in March. The Trump administration faces pressure to deliver on campaign promises of large-scale deportation operations while simultaneously working to restrict legal immigration pathways.
