"Divided GOP: Border Security Funding Debate Escalates"
TL;DR Summary
The House of Representatives has approved a $1.2 trillion bipartisan package that includes increased funding for immigration and border enforcement, emphasizing the desire for heightened spending on curbing illegal immigration at the US-Mexico border. The package allocates over $9.5 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), thousands of new police-type vehicles, and funds for marine vessels, aircraft, and unmanned aerial systems for the Department of Homeland Security and US Customs and Border Protection. The bill now heads to the Senate for a vote before midnight.
