As part of the so-called “ Big, Beautiful Bill” passed Thursday, Congress appropriated approximately $170 billion to fund the construction of new immigration detention centers, an increased budget for Immigrations and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security and additions to Trump’s U.S.-Mexico border wall.

The legislation, which extends tax cuts and funds border and defense programs, would increase the national debt by close to $4 trillion over the next decade.

Biden-era clean energy tax credits aimed at boosting the use of solar panels, wind energy and electric vehicles will be phased out under the bill, which local environmental advocates said will likely tamp down some of the growth Long Island has experienced in the clean energy sector.
