Here's the rundown on border & immigration enforcement $$ in the omnibus:

-$16.5B for CBP, incl $1.6 billion for increased migrant encounters
-300 additional Border Patrol agents
-$8.4B for ICE, detention capacity flat at 34K beds

Also $800M for new CBP Shelter and Services grant program (replacing Emergency Food & Shelter humanitarian account) for nonprofits & local govts helping with migrant needs

What's NOT in the bill:
-Afghan Adjustment Act
-relief for Dreamers, documented Dreamers, farmworkers
