President Donald Trump signed the GOP’s massive tax and funding cuts bill into law on July 4, meeting his self-imposed deadline, in an outdoor ceremony attended by hundreds of supporters and military jets flying over the White House.
The newly minted law will fund many of Trump’s domestic policies, including his immigration crackdown, resulting in nearly $170 billion to support the administration’s border goals.
The final bill, as detailed by NPR, allocates $45 billion for immigration detention centers, around $30 billion to hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement personnel, for transportation costs, and to maintain ICE facilities.
Additionally, roughly $46.5 billion has been earmarked to complete Trump’s border wall—a campaign promise he’s been repeating for nearly a decade—and includes $5 billion for Customs and Border Protection facilities and $10 billion for other border security initiatives. Approximately $13.5 billion will be set aside to reimburse states and local governments for their assistance with immigration and border-related enforcement.
