WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump<\/a> signed a bill into law on Wednesday that gives his immigration and deportation agenda<\/a> a nearly $70 billion boost<\/a> for the rest of his time in the White House. <\/p>\n

The bill provides $38 billion for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26 billion for the Border Patrol. An additional $5 billion would cover unforeseen costs, according to the White House. <\/p>\n

Trump signed the legislation in the Oval Office a day after House Republicans pushed the measure through by a 214-212 vote over the objections of Democrats. His signature ended a nearly six-month fight over Department of Homeland Security funding that began with shooting deaths of deaths of two U.S. citizens, Alex Pretti<\/a> and Renee Good<\/a>, in January during federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis. <\/p>\n

Democrats began demanding changes to immigration enforcement after the shootings, creating an impasse \u2014 and resulting in the longest agency in history<\/a> \u2014 that ultimately led Republicans to go it alone on the funding.<\/p>\n

The agencies will be funded through the next three years. The new law front-loads routine annual funding, ensuring a virtually uninterrupted flow of money as the Trump administration seeks to deport<\/a> some 1 million people per year.<\/p>\n

The legislation had become sidetracked over $1 billion for White House security, including for Trump\u2019s new ballroom<\/a>, and a $1.8 billion fund to compensate his allies who claim to be victims of political prosecution. Both proposals became politically toxic and were scrapped<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The bill as passed focused exclusively on immigration enforcement, a topic that Republicans have treated as a defining issue between the two major political parties and one the GOP hopes will carry it to victory in November\u2019s midterm elections<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Donald Trump signed a bill into law on Wednesday that gives his immigration and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":696094,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[203372,23,1927,22149,3505,12,793,790,16950,196794,3,111,191965,267317,8638,6148,795,3438,21,19,22,20,25,24,800],"class_list":["post-696093","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-states","tag-alex-pretti","tag-america","tag-ap-top-news","tag-border-security","tag-district-of-columbia","tag-donald-trump","tag-general-news","tag-immigration","tag-minneapolis","tag-minnesota-ice-crackdown","tag-news","tag-politics","tag-renee-good","tag-trump-hub","tag-u-s-democratic-party","tag-u-s-immigration-and-customs-enforcement","tag-u-s-news","tag-u-s-republican-party","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-washington-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696093","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696093"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696093\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696094"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696093"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
