YourVoice.Now Summary

Criminal Justice & Due ProcessTransparency & Accountability

ICE would get $105.4 billion in one bill — money it could spend through September 2036 without a yearly vote.

Criminal Justice & Due Process

Money for ICE immigration enforcement — $100.4 billion

This is ICE's main account. It pays for staff, transportation, equipment, and repairs at ICE offices and other sites. It also funds ICE units that work overseas.

New ICE buildings and property — $5 billion for land, construction

ICE could buy real estate and put up new buildings, then keep them running. The bill does not say where these sites would be or what they would be used for.

ICE police vehicles — up to 3,790 bought, 1,440 not replacements

The bill reserves 2,350 of these vehicles to replace worn-out ones. The other 1,440 carry no such limit, so the fleet could get bigger.

Transparency & Accountability

Yearly congressional review of ICE money — funds last until 2036

Congress normally funds ICE one year at a time, so it takes a fresh look each budget season. Under this bill the money would sit ready for about ten years.

Time limits on spending this money — other laws would not apply

One rule in the 2026 Homeland Security funding law puts a deadline on spending. The bill says that rule, and any other law like it, would not apply to this money.

More about this bill

Immigration and Customs Enforcement would get $105.4 billion in one funding bill. Most of it, $100.4 billion, would pay for day-to-day operations, including up to 3,790 police-type vehicles. That works out to about $10 billion a year, close to what ICE gets for operations today. The other $5 billion would buy land, put up buildings, and pay for equipment. ICE gets about $56 million a year for that work now. The money would stay available until September 30, 2036. Congress would not have to vote on it again each year. Spending deadlines set by other laws would not apply to it. Nothing here changes your taxes, bills, or paperwork. You would notice this most if you live or work where ICE operates.
