Washington, D.C. (WDNews) – President Trump has officially signed the One Big Beautiful Bill (BBB) into law, unlocking $165 billion in funding to boost immigration enforcement.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem praised the bill as a major victory for law and order.
“This $165 billion in funding will help the Department of Homeland Security and our brave law enforcement further deliver on President Trump’s mandate to arrest and deport criminal illegal aliens and MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN!” she said.
Here’s what the bill includes:
- $46.5 billion to finish construction of the southern border wall
- $14.4 billion for deportation and transportation of illegal aliens
- $12 billion in reimbursements to states that enforced stricter border controls during the previous administration
- $4.1 billion to hire 6,000 new border agents and customs officers
- $5.9 billion combined for cutting-edge surveillance technology and vehicle upgrades
- $3.2 billion for advanced border tech and $2.7 billion for surveillance expansion
- $855 million to upgrade the CBP vehicle fleet
The bill provides Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with the largest expansion in its history, authorizing 10,000 new ICE agents and resources to potentially deport up to 1 million illegal immigrants annually. ICE will also receive enough funding to detain 100,000 illegal immigrants per day, along with 80,000 new detention beds.
Additionally, the bill fully funds ICE’s 287(g) program, which allows local law enforcement to coordinate with federal immigration officers. For the next four years, both ICE and Border Patrol agents will receive $10,000 annual bonuses.
The U.S. Coast Guard is also getting a major upgrade:
- $14.1 billion for new cutters
- $3.7 billion for new aircraft
- $6 billion for critical infrastructure projects
Supporters say the BBB will fast-track Trump’s immigration crackdown and give frontline agencies the tools needed to secure the nation. Critics are expected to raise concerns about civil liberties, funding priorities and immigration policy, but the administration is moving swiftly to implement the law.
