US EditionHouse passes final government funding bills in milestone, overcoming Democratic DHS opposition
The DHS funding bill passed 220-207 with seven Democrats supporting, ensuring ICE funding remains flat at $10 billion and adding $20 million for body cameras amid oversight demands.
- On Thursday, the House passed a four-bill minibus funding Defense, Labor-HHS, Transportation-HUD and Homeland Security after appropriators released the package early Monday as they raced to finish 12 bills before the funding deadline, with the DHS measure passing 220-207 including seven Democrats breaking ranks.
- Amid escalating ICE raids and community protests, House Democrats are split over whether to restrain or defund Immigration and Customs Enforcement after an agent fatally shot Renee Good this month, with Rep. Pramila Jayapal opposing oversight measures as insufficient.
- The funding package allocates $839.2 billion for Defense, $221 billion for Labor-HHS, and keeps $10 billion for ICE, including $20 million for body cameras and $115 million in cuts to enforcement, DeLauro said.
- With the Jan. 30 deadline looming, the Senate will need 60 votes to clear remaining bills and avoid a partial shutdown affecting agencies starting Jan. 31, while the DHS bill faces a tough path.
- Finishing the package would complete the chamber’s appropriations work four months after the fiscal year began and fund the government through Sept. 30, carrying political stakes into the 2026 midterms.
