House panel advances sweeping bill of Trump immigration priorities

  • The House Judiciary Committee advanced legislation on May 1, 2025, backing several of former President Trump's immigration priorities, including increased detentions and deportations in the United States.
  • This bill follows long-standing issues with immigration system funding shortfalls and aims to offset an $81 billion cost through increased application fees and new enforcement resources.
  • The legislation includes raising fees for asylum seekers and others, allocating $45 billion to detain migrants, funding construction of 700 miles of border barriers, and enabling removal of one million migrants annually.
  • Democrats spotlighted cases of mistaken and harmful deportations, including children and a man sent to a Salvadoran prison, and criticized Republicans for rejecting amendments that aimed to protect due process and bar deportations to foreign prisons.
  • The bill’s passage implies a significant expansion in immigration enforcement and court-limiting regulatory power, with Republicans planning to pass it largely on party-line votes despite Democratic opposition.
