GOP-Led House Passes $70 Billion for Immigration Enforcement

President Donald Trump moved one step closer Tuesday to locking in immigration enforcement funding through the end of his presidency.

A bill to provide nearly $70 billion for immigration enforcement narrowly cleared a key procedural hurdle Tuesday in the House as Republicans moved to fund a pair of Homeland Security agencies through the next three years and the rest of President Donald Trump's time in office.

Some Republicans sought to enact a prohibition on Trump's controversial $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, but that ultimately did not make it into the legislative package.

The package, dubbed the Secure America Act, cleared the Senate last week and now heads to the president’s desk for his expected signature.
