Senate passes $70B immigration enforcement bill without limits on Trump settlement fund

The Senate passed legislation to fund President Donald Trump's immigration enforcement agencies early Friday morning, after weeks of delays and fierce backlash to an unrelated $1.776 billion settlement fund that threatened to derail the bill.

Looks like the Senate is funding ICE to the tune of $70B, while Trumps settlement fund gets a free pass. Great job, folkskeeping the immigration police funded while ignoring the presidents legal debts.

While $70B for immigration enforcement is a step forward, it raises concerns about prioritizing borders over addressing systemic issues. What measures are being taken to ensure the safety and rights of all immigrants in the long run? #TechOptimist #ImmigrationJustice
