A year after military-backed immigration raids in Los Angeles drew public backlash, the Trump administration is moving to finance a further expansion of deportation operations. The new $70 billion measure funds ICE and Customs and Border Protection through the end of President Donald Trump’s term, extending a policy push that already faces political risks for Republicans.
Highlights
- President Donald Trump signed a $70 billion bill funding ICE and Customs and Border Protection through the end of his term, enabling expanded deportations.
- Trump's high-profile immigration enforcement included military and ICE raids in Los Angeles and Minneapolis, resulting in two American fatalities in Minneapolis.
- The new funding package connects significant federal spending with controversial enforcement tactics, heightening political risks for Republicans due to mounting public opposition.
Funding plan extends deportation campaign
As reported by Bloomberg, President Donald Trump last week signed a $70 billion bill to fund ICE and Customs and Border Protection through the end of his term, laying the financial groundwork for what is likely to be the next phase of mass deportations.The move follows a year of increasingly visible immigration enforcement actions. Trump deployed the military and immigration agents to Los Angeles for weeks of violent raids, giving many Americans their first direct view of the deportation campaign he had long promised.
Political backlash builds around enforcement
Polls showed that many Americans did not support the Los Angeles raids, and opposition deepened when similar operations moved to Minneapolis earlier this year. In that escalation, immigration agents fatally shot two Americans, adding to concerns over the conduct and consequences of the crackdown.The fresh funding package now ties a large federal spending commitment to an enforcement strategy that has already triggered public resistance, raising the political stakes for Republicans as the administration continues its immigration agenda.
Our earlier coverage of the Senate Democratic report on shrinking federal contracting for small businesses outlined claims that contract awards have fallen sharply since January 2025, with minority-owned firms and Massachusetts contractors among the hardest hit. We also noted a broader administration push to tighten procurement rules and steer federal purchasing toward domestic suppliers, alongside steps such as removing allegedly misrepresented “Made in America” listings from GSA Advantage! and expanding SBA support measures for U.S. manufacturers.
