House is set to fund Trump's immigration actions for second term
- The House advanced a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill to fund DHS agencies through 2029, moving toward a final vote.
- Republicans say funding will support border security and immigration enforcement during the next three years and Trump’s term.
- House Republicans aim to pass the package with minimal Democratic input, after years-long standoff on DHS funding.
- Administration leadership changes at DHS are noted as background context for the funding debate.
- If approved, the bill would push funding through the next three years and into Trump’s remaining term.
- Democrats oppose the bill, calling for reforms to immigration enforcement and DHS operations.
- The measure excludes earlier proposals for White House security upgrades and a fund for allies.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson faces high attendance and party unity to secure passage.
- The bill would fund Homeland Security agencies through the next three years and beyond.
- Lawmakers previously debated adding funds for White House security and allies before finalizing the focus on immigration.
