House advances hardline border bill as Dems press for ICE/DHS guardrails

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee advanced the Permanent Trump Secure Border Act as Democrats sought to add guardrails—such as body-worn cameras for immigration officers, parole provisions for military families, and legal aid for unaccompanied minors—but all Democratic amendments failed. The bill would tighten asylum and entry rules and impose broad verification requirements on U.S. companies, a move supported by hardline Republicans but viewed as too aggressive by moderates and unlikely to secure 60 Senate votes or become law.
