President Donald Trump signed the Secure America Act into law on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, in a ceremony at the Oval Office. The legislation delivers roughly $70 billion in funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through fiscal year 2029.

The Secure America Act allocates approximately $38.5 billion to ICE for personnel, Homeland Security Investigations, transportation, detention operations, and 287(g) agreements with state and local law enforcement. It directs about $22-26 billion to CBP for border security, technology upgrades, screening, and personnel. An additional roughly $5 billion covers contingencies and other DHS immigration enforcement needs.
Congress advanced the measure rapidly. The Senate passed it 52-47 on June 5, 2026, largely along party lines, with Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, voting against it. The House approved it 214-212 on June 9, 2026, also on party lines.
During the signing, Trump stated that the bill ensures uninterrupted funding for key agencies. “This morning I’m thrilled to sign the Secure America Act to immediately and fully fund the Department of Homeland Security through the end of my term, so we won’t have that to be talking about anymore,” he said, according to footage of the event.
The funding spans through September 30, 2029, shielding operations from future appropriations disputes. Supporters highlighted investments in technology, infrastructure, and partnerships. Opponents raised concerns about the scale of enforcement funding without accompanying policy changes.
Border Czar Tom Homan and other administration officials have emphasized the need for sustained resources to maintain enforcement momentum, per C-SPAN. The legislation supports expanded detention capacity, removal operations, and border barrier/technology enhancements.
This marks a significant legislative win for the administration’s immigration priorities early in the term.
The White House described the act as fulfilling promises to equip law enforcement agencies that protect the nation’s borders. Funding remains available through FY2029 for specified purposes, including facility maintenance, information technology, and state-local cooperation, per Ballotpedia.
As implementation begins, focus will shift to how the departments allocate the new resources while managing ongoing border challenges and interior enforcement actions. The administration has signaled continued emphasis on removals and deterrence.
