House of Representatives unanimously approves a bill passed by the Senate to fund the Department of Homeland Security , the Secret Service , the Coast Guard , FEMA , TSA , and the
Confirmed
President Donald Trump is expected to swiftly sign the bipartisan legislation, fully funding the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with other offices within DHS that don’t deal with immigration enforcement.
The House cleared the bill by voice vote just hours before a critical deadline, after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned that emergency funds used to cover salaries would soon run dry. Johnson said Thursday that the Senate-passed bill was “haphazardly drafted” and that House Republicans needed to ensure they first launched the party-line process to fund immigration agencies before clearing the package sending cash to the rest of DHS.
“The idea that we’re isolating Border Patrol and isolating ICE is offensive to the men and women who serve,” Roy said on the House floor before the bill was passed. The House approved the measure, already passed by the Senate, sending it to US President Donald Trump, who quickly signed it.
Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas) said Thursday that Republicans are “absolutely horrified” to be funding the immigration agencies separately. “We threw a fit, and we had to,” the speaker said.
