Congress just gave DHS another $70 billion

Congress approved a $70 billion funding package for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Tuesday, intended to support President Donald Trump's mass deportation initiatives over the next three years. The House of Representatives passed the reconciliation bill with a narrow vote of 214 to 212, following a Senate vote of 52-47 on Friday morning. The legislative decision largely adhered to party lines, indicating significant partisan division on the funding and its intended use. This substantial allocation of funds signals a major commitment to bolstering the operational capacity of DHS for large-scale deportation efforts.
