House advances $1.2T package with ICE funding after Republicans overcome infighting

Lawmakers advanced the spending package to avoid a shutdown, including $80 billion for Homeland Security and a new council enabling year-round E15 ethanol fuel sales.

  • On Thursday, House Republicans advanced a $1.2 trillion spending package via rule vote, enabling debate and final consideration in the U.S. House of Representatives.
  • An overnight compromise created an E15 Rural Domestic Energy Council to defuse up to 20 defecting lawmakers as they face a Jan. 30 funding deadline.
  • The DHS bill allocates $80B, keeping funding flat and reducing some ICE removal funds while adding $20 million for body cameras and training for immigration enforcement agents.
  • The procedural victory sets up two final House votes, one funding Defense, Education, Labor and HHS and another for DHS, after lawmakers unanimously approved striking disputed data-security language, leaving the Senate with a repeal decision on the Arctic Frost provision.
  • House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expects the DHS bill to pass with Appropriations Committee Democrats' support, while Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., called the process a shared compromise as Republican leadership pushes a return to regular order.
