President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act on June 10, 2026, providing $70 billion [1] for immigration enforcement.
The legislation ends a months-long congressional fight over funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and advances the administration's primary immigration agenda.
Trump signed the bill in the Oval Office at the White House [4]. The funding is specifically allocated to ICE and Customs and Border Protection to bolster enforcement efforts [2, 3, 4]. This financial injection follows a period of legislative delay and political tension regarding the agency's budget [5, 6].
Reports on the duration of the funding vary. Some sources indicate the appropriation covers the next three years [6], while others state the funding extends through 2029 [2]. Additional reporting suggests the authorization lasts through the end of the president's term [4].
The Secure America Act is intended to provide the necessary resources for agencies to execute deportation and border security mandates. By securing these funds, the administration removes a significant legislative hurdle that had previously stalled its enforcement priorities [5, 6].

The passage of the Secure America Act represents a significant victory for the administration's border security strategy. By securing long-term funding through 2029, the executive branch gains a stable financial foundation for ICE and Border Patrol, reducing the likelihood of future government shutdowns or budget freezes over immigration enforcement for the remainder of the current term.
