The US House of Representatives has approved a budget bill allocating nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement over the next three years. The legislation, which previously passed the Senate, designates approximately $38 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and around $26 billion for Customs and Border Protection (CBP). An additional $5 billion is also included. This funding package addresses one of former President Donald Trump's key priorities regarding immigration control. The measure aims to bolster efforts in combating immigration across the country and at its borders. Sources: Le Monde
