## Resource

President Trump just signed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill, fueling a fierce partisan battle over accountability and oversight. With ICE getting $38 billion and Customs and Border Protection receiving $26 billion, the funding bypasses normal budgeting and extends through 2029 — sparking concerns from lawmakers about transparency and long-term checks. Democrats pushed for body cameras and warrant requirements after recent controversies, but those safeguards were dropped. One Republican senator broke ranks, calling for bipartisan solutions and a shorter-term bill with clearer spending rules. Meanwhile, a proposed restitution fund faced resistance, though the White House hasn’t ruled it out entirely — revealing deep divides over how to balance security, justice, and fiscal responsibility in immigration policy.
