Budget Resolution for Immigration Funds Adopted in House
House Republicans passed the measure after a 215-211 vote, keeping immigration enforcement funded and setting up DHS to reopen through regular appropriations.
- On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a budget resolution in a 215-211 vote, authorizing up to $140 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection to reopen the Department of Homeland Security.
- Since Feb. 14, the Department of Homeland Security has remained without congressionally appropriated funds, prompting Republicans to adopt a two-track strategy bypassing Democratic demands for immigration enforcement guardrails.
- House Republican leaders secured passage after resolving an unrelated intraparty ethanol dispute following five hours of voting negotiations, with Rep Kevin Kiley, an Independent from California, casting the lone 'present' vote.
- Lawmakers can now advance a filibuster-proof reconciliation bill providing around $70 billion in enforcement funding to sustain ICE and CBP through Trump's term, though The Administration warns DHS personnel may face payroll shortfalls as soon as May.
- With a June 1 deadline set by President Donald Trump, Senate committees must draft detailed reconciliation legislation by May 15, with leaders aiming to resume work the week of May 11 following a one-week congressional recess.
