Trump's actions in Los Angeles spark debate over deportation funds in spending bill

President Donald Trump’s sweeping spending bill has more tax breaks and spending cuts but also features billions of dollars for the administration’s mass deportation plan. 

House Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act delivers "much-needed reinforcements," like more immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, funding to expand migrant detention facilities and additional billions to enforce at least 1 million deportations a year.

Meanwhile, Democrats contend that Trump’s actions in Los Angeles to send in the National Guard over the Gov. Gavin Newsom’s objections and deploying Marines to manage the immigration raid protests is heightening tensions in what had been isolated protests in parts of the area.

Deportation funding in Trump bill

Dig deeper:

President Donald Trump’s spending bill package features $150 billion for border security and deportation operations, including funding for hiring 10,000 new ICE officers — with what House Speaker Mike Johnson said are $10,000 hiring bonuses and 3,000 new Border Patrol agents and other field operations and support staff.

Funding would also be allocated for a daily detention capacity for 100,000 migrants and for flights for 1 million deportations a year. The package includes $46 billion for construction of Trump’s long promised wall between the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Associated Press reported that the bill also includes $150 billion for the Pentagon, with $5 billion for the military deployment in support of border security, along with nearly $25 billion for Trump’s "Golden Dome" defense system over the U.S. Separately, the bill adds another $21 billion for the Coast Guard.

Separately, Trump’s bill extends some $4.5 trillion in existing tax breaks that would expire at the end of 2025 without action in Congress, slashing some $1.4 trillion in spending over the next 10 years to help neutralize costs.

Moreover, the AP noted that the Congressional Budget Office determined that the spending bill’s changes to Medicaid and other programs would leave roughly 10.9 million more people without health insurance and at least 3 million each month without food stamps from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The CBO told the AP that the proposed legislation will add some $2.4 trillion to deficits over the next 10 years.
