ai generated text

House Republicans narrowly approved a $70 billion package that fully funds the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the rest of President Trump’s second term. The bill passed in a 214‑212 vote, following earlier Democratic opposition.

  1. US
    Tom McClintock
    Republican Party
    1. This bill breaks the Democrats' stranglehold over ICE and CBP funding.
  2. US
    Mike Johnson
    Republican Party
    1. And here's the end result of Democrats' record-setting obstruction: CBP and ICE will now be funded for the remainder of President Trump's term and Democrats will have no ability to defund these agencies in the 119th or 120th Congresses.
    2. We have to fund border security and immigration enforcement, and it's sad that Republicans have to do it on our own.
    3. With today's vote, House and Senate Republicans have officially ended the third Democrat government shutdown of this Congress.
  3. US
    Steve Scalise
    Republican Party
    1. You vote no, you are voting to defund the police. Those are the people, the law enforcement officers, risking their lives to keep our community safe.
    2. Make no mistake, you're voting yes, you're not only voting to secure America's borders, you're voting to fund law enforcement.
  4. US
    Morgan McGarvey
    Democratic Party
    1. Just about anything would be better than giving it to ICE.
    2. With $70 billion, we could end homelessness in America.
  5. US
    Hakeem Jeffries
    Democratic Party
    1. Republicans have now come back for more, to give ICE and Donald Trump's violent mass deportation machine another $70 billion blank check, with no oversight, no accountability and no guardrails.
