House Republicans have passed a nearly $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies for the next three years and the rest of President Donald Trump's term in office. The bill now goes to Trump to be signed into law. Democrats oppose the measure,with Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries saying the money would further fund Trump's “violent mass deportation machine.” Meanwhile, Republicans said they were fulfilling their duty to safeguard the nation and support the men and women charged with enforcing the law. The funding comes on top of the nearly $140 billion that the Republican-controlled Congress gave ICE and Customs and Border Protection last year as part of Trump’s massive tax and spending cuts bill.

In first papal speech to Spanish parliament, pope demands respect for migrants and international law
Pope Leo XIV calls for newfound respect for the rights of migrants and international law during an historic address to the Spanish parliament that signaled a new level of acceptance of the Catholic Church in the public sphere in the overwhelmingly secular country. Leo delivered the first papal address to the Spanish legislature on Monday. In it, the American pope said a “moral renewal” was necessary in legislatures and public life, to respect the inherent dignity of all people, including migrants, the unborn and most vulnerable people. He repeated his call for peace, dialogue and “diplomatic courage” as Israeli and Iran traded retaliatory strikes that threatened to plunge the Mideast into war anew.
