The House passed a $70 billion bill funding ICE and Border Patrol through the rest of Trump's term, and it now heads to his desk — that core fact is confirmed by AP, NYT, WaPo, NPR and CNBC. Gillmor's labels ('fascist secret police,' 'right-wing dictatorship') are opinion, not reporting, but the underlying funding event is real and significant: it locks in money for the mass deportation operations Democrats have been trying to constrain. What the post leaves out is that the bill ended a four-month funding lapse and passed largely along party lines, with Democrats warning Congress has abandoned its oversight role over enforcement abuses.
