House passes final government funding bills in milestone, overcoming Democratic DHS opposition
The $1.2 trillion package passed with bipartisan support except the Homeland Security bill, which funds ICE at $10 billion amid Democratic opposition over immigration enforcement.
- On Thursday, the House sent about $1.2 trillion in bills to the Senate, requiring final passage next week before the Jan. 30 deadline.
- Facing a funding impasse, lawmakers often use continuing resolutions to avoid lapses, but Rosa DeLauro, top Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee, warned this would cede more Homeland Security spending decisions to the president.
- Three of the bills secured broad bipartisan support funding Defense, Education, Transportation and Health and Human Services, while the broader package passed 341-88 and includes a 3.8% pay raise for the military; Republicans passed the Homeland Security bill 220-207 despite Democratic objections.
