US EditionHouse Adopts Senate-Approved Budget Resolution to Unlock ICE Funding
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a three-year budget plan initiating reconciliation to secure up to $70 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol operations.
- Republicans utilized the parliamentary procedure to bypass the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, circumventing Democratic opposition that has blocked Department of Homeland Security funding efforts.
- The bill passed 215-211 on a party-line vote, with Speaker Mike Johnson holding the tally open for over five hours to secure sufficient Republican support.
- President Donald Trump requested the measure reach his desk by June 1, launching a monthlong sprint for lawmakers to finalize the $70 billion immigration enforcement proposal.
- Homeland Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullin stated the funding could not come soon enough, as the Secret Service and Coast Guard face shutdown without a separate fiscal agreement by week's end.
