# Trump signs $70B immigration enforcement bill, extending funding through 2029 **Published:** 2026-06-10T20:27:19.000Z **Source:** [Nebraska Examiner](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/06/10/repub/billions-for-the-next-3-years-of-trumps-mass-deportation-campaign-signed-into-law/) **AI-generated:** yes (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) **Canonical:** https://lincolne.news/article/trump-signs-70b-immigration-enforcement-bill-extending-funding-through-2029 President Donald Trump signed into law a nearly $70 billion immigration enforcement package on Wednesday, guaranteeing federal funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection operations through the remainder of his term without any new restrictions on how the agencies conduct their operations. The legislation, which [cleared Congress largely along party lines](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/06/10/repub/billions-for-the-next-3-years-of-trumps-mass-deportation-campaign-signed-into-law/), represents a significant victory for the Trump administration's mass deportation agenda. ICE will receive $38.53 billion, while Customs and Border Protection gets $26.02 billion and the Department of Homeland Security secretary receives $5 billion in additional funding. The money will cover operations through September 2029. "The bill provides crucial funding for domestic law enforcement investigations and combating child exploitation, continuing our work to restore law and order across our nation, and to protect America's youth," Trump said during an Oval Office signing ceremony. The measure caps a months-long standoff between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats had sought guardrails on immigration enforcement after federal officers killed two U.S. citizens during raids in Minneapolis in January, but those negotiations collapsed. Republicans pushed the bill through using the budget reconciliation process, allowing passage with a simple majority in the Senate rather than the 60 votes typically required to overcome a filibuster. The funding comes atop the $170 billion Republicans allocated for immigration enforcement in their "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill signed into law last year, making ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in U.S. history. In Nebraska, the influx of federal resources has fueled immigration enforcement expansion. [Gov.

The expansion has prompted pushback from Nebraska lawmakers and civil rights advocates. [State senators have introduced bills to increase accountability for immigration enforcement officers and prevent enforcement in community safe spaces like hospitals, schools and churches](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/01/09/more-than-200-new-bills-introduced-in-first-week-of-nebraskas-2026-legislative-session/). Meanwhile, more than 1,100 Nebraska families have developed safety plans in case a household member faces detention or deportation. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the sole Republican to vote against the funding measure in the Senate. She argued the three-year appropriation weakens Congress's ability to provide checks on immigration policy and expressed concerns about the administration's proposed "anti-weaponization" fund, though that provision was ultimately removed from the final bill. ## Sources - [Nebraska Examiner](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/06/10/repub/billions-for-the-next-3-years-of-trumps-mass-deportation-campaign-signed-into-law/) - [Nebraska Examiner article on Nebraska's new ICE facility](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2025/08/20/nebraskas-new-ice-facility-symbolic-of-states-support-for-immigration-enforcement-push/) - [ACLU of Nebraska press release on immigration enforcement accountability bills](https://www.aclunebraska.org/press-releases/new-bills-seek-increased-accountability-for-ice-law-enforcement/) - [Nebraska Examiner article on 2026 legislative session bills](https://nebraskaexaminer.com/2026/01/09/more-than-200-new-bills-introduced-in-first-week-of-nebraskas-2026-legislative-session/) --- This article was generated by AI (claude-haiku-4-5-20251001) based on source material from Nebraska Examiner, enriched with 2 web searches.
