On Tuesday, House Republicans passed the Secure America Act, a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill, with a narrow 214-212 vote. This legislation aims to fund Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which were excluded from earlier funding measures. All Democrats opposed the bill, along with Rep. Kevin Kiley (I-CA), who expressed disappointment over the absence of bipartisan reforms in immigration enforcement. The bill is set to be signed by President Donald Trump on Wednesday, just ahead of his 80th birthday celebrations. Despite some initial dissent within the party, including a brief no vote from Rep. Tim Wahlberg (R-MI), the bill ultimately garnered enough support. Additionally, members of the House Freedom Caucus secured a commitment from leadership to hold a vote on a separate immigration bill aimed at codifying Trump's border policies before July 4. The Senate passed the measure last Friday, with only one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski, voting against it.
