The U.S. House advances and passes a GOP-led budget reconciliation package that funds Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, sending the legislation to President Trump for signature. Multiple reports describe the measure as nearing $70 billion total and structured to provide funding through 2029. The House first clears the bill through procedural steps, approving a rule that sets up debate and a final House vote. After the rule is advanced, the package passes the House with a narrow margin, with only minor variation in reported vote totals and participants across coverage. One outlet reports a House procedural vote of 213–211 and another reports final passage of the reconciliation package by the lower chamber by a close margin. The bill had faced delays in the Senate for weeks before moving forward, according to reports. With the House vote complete and Senate action already underway or completed, the legislation reaches the president’s desk. The reports state Trump is expected to sign the “Secure America Act,” making the funding for ICE and Border Patrol law through the period specified in the package.
