House Advances DHS Funding as ICE Backlash Grows
The House narrowly approved the Homeland Security funding bill (through Sept. 30) 220-207 amid Democratic objections to Trump-era immigration enforcement, while also advancing a larger six-bill package for Pentagon and key domestic agencies. The DHS measure funds ICE, CBP, Coast Guard, FEMA and others and includes new guardrails like body cameras and DHS oversight, but many Democrats say it doesn’t go far enough to constrain ICE after Minnesota incidents. Senate action on the broader six-bill package is expected next week as lawmakers weigh spending levels and guardrails amid ongoing immigration debate.
