US House passes DHS funding bill, allocating $10 billion to ICE

Multiple sources agree that the House passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill that keeps ICE's budget roughly flat at $10 billion for the current fiscal year. This figure aligns with last year's funding levels rather than representing a significant increase or decrease.

However, some details indicate that within this $10 billion allocation, there are modest reductions, such as a $115 million cut to ICE enforcement and removal operations and a reduction of 5,500 detention beds.nbcnews.comnbcnews.comHouse Democratic leaders will oppose DHS funding bill as party rages over ICE The bill also includes provisions aimed at modestly curbing ICE activities, which has caused some Democratic opposition.huffpost.comhuffpost.comDemocrats Back DHS Funding Bill With Modest Curbs On ICE The overall DHS funding bill totals around $64 billion, with ICE's portion being a subset of that.+2 more
