WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans have passed a nearly $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies for the next three years and the rest of President Donald Trump’s term in office. The bill now goes to Trump who is expected to sign it into law Wednesday. Democrats oppose the measure, with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries saying the money would further fund Trump’s “violent mass deportation machine.” Meanwhile, Republicans said they were fulfilling their duty to safeguard the nation and support the men and women charged with enforcing the law. The funding comes on top of the nearly $140 billion that the Republican-controlled Congress gave ICE and Customs and Border Protection last year as part of Trump’s massive tax and spending cuts bill.
