JUST IN: Trump Just Got His Way On Immigration Enforcement

Betting against President Donald Trump is never a good bet. No matter how unlikely a victory seems for him at times, he almost always comes out ahead. And he did so again on Thursday.The Senate on Thursday approved a budget reconciliation package that would providefunding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through 2029, sending the legislation to the House for final consideration.The measure passed with support from most Senate Republicans and represents a major victory for the administration’s immigration agenda. The bill secures long-term funding for federal immigration enforcement operations while rejecting several policy changes sought by Democrats during negotiations.Democratic lawmakers had pushed for stricter limitations on immigration enforcement, including requiring judicial warrants rather than administrative warrants for immigration-related arrests, restricting the use of face coverings by federal agents, and curbing certain enforcement operations conducted away from fixed locations.Republicans rejected those proposals, arguing that such restrictions would hamper law enforcement’s ability to carry out immigration laws and secure the border effectively.Democrats, of course, rejected the measure because mass deportations mean their states will end up with fewer seats in Congress after the 2030 census. The America Last party, always.“Democrats side with illegals over American citizens every chance they get. But thanks to reconciliation, we didn’t need their votes or have to accept their radical demands that would have tied the hands of federal law enforcement,” Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) told TownHall.
