Senator Mrs. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, was the only Republican to vote against this latest funding measure in the Senate last week. She wrote in a statement that by appropriating funding for three fiscal years instead of the usual one,
@lisamurkowski -MI.28-
Former agency leaders, Democrats and even some Republicans have warned that the surge of money limits the ability of Congress to provide oversight when it comes to how that money is spent and how the agency operates.
@lisamurkowski -MI.27-
ICE's usual annual budget is about $10 billion. The $75 billion boost last summer made ICE the highest funded federal law enforcement agency and enabled a hiring surge that doubled its ranks in a matter of months.
@lisamurkowski -MI.26-
also passed by Republicans through the budget reconciliation process, that has allowed both agencies to largely continue operating even as Democrats refused to provide them annual funding for the last several months.
@lisamurkowski -MI.25-
-> $350 million for enforcement in localities that do not coordinate directly with ICE.
-- >>> More dollars after an unprecedented boost- Both ICE and CBP received a massive influx of funding last year,
@lisamurkowski -MI.24-
-> $22 billion for Border Patrol to pay, train, recruit and equip agents and personnel. That includes $13 billion specifically for immigration enforcement work;
-> $5 billion for border security technology and screening, including artificial intelligence;
@lisamurkowski -MI.23-
That includes $7 billion for Homeland Security Investigations and $31 billion for immigration enforcement work like hiring more attorneys, supporting local law enforcement who coordinate with ICE and technology like body cameras;
@lisamurkowski -MI.22-
While most annual spending measures provide funds for just that fiscal year, this measure includes lump sums that need to be spent only by the end of fiscal year 2029, including:
-> $38 billion for ICE to hire, pay, train and equip its officers and agents.
@lisamurkowski -MI.21-
Though technically this funding is meant to cover three years, unlike a traditional annual funding bill, the money comes with few stipulations on how and when it should be spent.
@lisamurkowski -MI.20-
ICE gets more than three times its annual funding. Through this legislation, Congress is giving ICE more than three times its last annual budget.
@lisamurkowski -MI.19-
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL– THE MEASURE PASSED BY A VOTE 214 to 212.The vote marks the end of a 115 day standoff over immigration policy. Democrats refused to back more funding for ICE and Border Patrol.
@lisamurkowski -MI.17-
The House narrowly voted on Tuesday JUNE 09, 2026, to direct roughly $70 billion to the Department of Homeland Security for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (I.C.E.) and Border Patrol (B.P.),
@lisamurkowski -MI.16-
-- >>> REFERING TO I.C.E. - Federal agencies responsible for immigration enforcement are set to receive tens of billions more dollars after Congress voted to fund them not just for the year, but through the rest of President Trump's term.
@lisamurkowski -MI.15-
I WARMLY CONGRATULATE THE FINALLY SUCCESS FOR ALL U.S. CITIZENS- HAOUSE PASSES BILL TO FUND I.C.E. AND BORDER PATROL THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF TRUMP’s TERM.
