What this bill would do
This bill, known as the "10 Years of ICE Funding Act," seeks to provide money for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It allocates $100,363,620,000 for operations and support, which includes things like police-type vehicles and facility maintenance. An additional $5,000,000,000 is designated for procurement, construction, and improvements, such as acquiring real property. The funds are intended to remain available until September 30, 2036. This Act includes a rule of construction to ensure the money remains available despite other laws that might limit the timing of such funds.
