The package funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement and parts of Customs and Border Protection through the end of the Trump administration. Democrats refused for months to fund the agencies without reforms."We'll give the heroes of ICE and Border Patrol — and that's what they are, they're heroes, what they have to go through to keep us safe — the support and resources they need to defend our borders, protect our homeland and to keep America safe," the president added, crediting House Speaker Mike Johnson for passing the bill with a slim majority in the House.  President Trump speaks before signing the Secure America Act in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., on June 10, 2026.
