House GOP backs $70B immigration enforcement package via reconciliation

The House approved a nearly $70 billion, three-year funding package for ICE and Border Patrol using the budget reconciliation process, moving the measure to President Trump’s desk on a party-line vote of 214-212. The package adds roughly $65 billion to ICE/CBP beyond last year’s funding, plus $5 billion for discretionary DHS use, and includes changes pushed by DHS Secretary Mullin, such as new training rules and oversight while Democrats pressed for reforms; some Republicans warned the tactic could backfire and signaled more reconciliation packages could follow before year’s end.

Senate Delays ICE Funding as GOP Wrestles with Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund

Senate Republicans postponed a vote on a GOP package funding ICE and Border Patrol until June after a closed briefing raised questions about the administration’s $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund and its guardrails. With Democratic opposition to the fund, leaders plan to attach it to the immigration reconciliation package, and Schumer announced no further votes until June 1. House Republicans were waiting on the Senate, while Memorial Day looms and Trump had pressed for a June 1 deadline, a target now unlikely to be met.

GOP Rift on DHS Funding as Shutdown Deadline Looms

Republican leaders Johnson and Thune clash over how to fund DHS: push ICE and Border Patrol funding through reconciliation while other DHS funds go through normal appropriations; the Senate bill’s language zeroing out ICE/Border Patrol funding is a flashpoint. Johnson proposes a revised version to win House votes with minimal substance changes, while Thune signals openness to edits. Any deal may require reconciling the House and Senate versions, potentially delaying passage and risking a mid-May shutdown.
