(UNITED STATES) — Senate Republicans unveiled a Department of Homeland Security spending package that would provide about $70 billion for ICE and CBP, setting up a vote fight over money that House Democrats said would carry those agencies through the end of the Trump presidency.

The package includes $38.2 billion for ICE, $26 billion for CBP, a $5 billion fund for the Secretary of Homeland Security, and $1.5 billion for several Justice Department bureaus. Public reporting described the broader Republican plan as roughly $70 billion in new funding over 3 1/2 more fiscal years, extending to the end of fiscal year 2029.

Senators passed the package by 52–47. Sen. Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican to vote with Democrats against it.

House Democrats put the figure at more than $70 billion and said it would fund ICE and CBP “through the end of the Trump administration.” Their description turned a spending debate into a political marker, tying border and immigration enforcement money to the full span of President Trump’s term.

Republicans moved the measure through the reconciliation process, a route that lets the Senate act with a simple majority rather than clear a filibuster. That procedural choice lowers the threshold for approval and gives the package a path that would not depend on bipartisan support.

The numbers are unusually large for two agencies that already sit at the center of federal immigration enforcement. ICE handles interior enforcement, detention and removals. CBP oversees border operations, ports of entry and frontline screening.

Placed side by side, the allocations show where lawmakers concentrated the money. ICE would receive the largest share at $38.2 billion, followed by $26 billion for CBP, while the Secretary of Homeland Security would control a separate $5 billion fund and Justice Department bureaus would receive $1.5 billion.

That split also sharpened Democratic criticism. Their argument focused not only on the total, but on the duration, with the package framed as funding enforcement agencies through the end of the Trump presidency while also reaching into fiscal year 2029.

Congress often uses reconciliation for budget measures because the process changes the Senate math. A bill that can pass with a simple majority faces a different political test than one that must attract enough votes to survive a filibuster. In this case, that meant Republicans could advance the package without bringing over a bloc of Democratic senators.

Murkowski’s vote against the measure stood out because it left every other Republican senator on the winning side. The final tally, 52–47, showed the package clearing the chamber with narrow but sufficient support.

The proposal’s structure also drew attention to the extra money outside the two main immigration agencies. The $5 billion fund for the Secretary of Homeland Security gives the department’s top political leadership a large pool of money, while the $1.5 billion directed to several Justice Department bureaus extends the package beyond DHS itself.

Current reporting described the overall plan as providing roughly $70 billion in new funding over 3 1/2 more fiscal years. That timeline would stretch federal enforcement spending well beyond a single appropriations cycle and, as described by House Democrats, keep money flowing to ICE and CBP through the end of the Trump presidency.

The fight now turns on whether that Senate package can hold as Congress moves ahead with the broader measure. At stake is not a short-term increase, but a multiyear commitment of about $70 billion to the agencies that anchor U.S. immigration enforcement.
