House Approves $70 Billion Immigration Package 214-212, Ending DHS Shutdown Stalemate

3 articles · Updated · CNBC · Jun 9

Summary

  • A 214-212 House vote cleared a $70 billion immigration package funding ICE and Customs and Border Protection through the end of Trump's presidency, sending a top White House priority toward enactment.
  • The measure breaks a months-long deadlock that had left parts of the Department of Homeland Security shut down after Democrats blocked earlier enforcement funding.
  • Mike Johnson secured passage despite unified Democratic opposition and Republican defections risk; hardliner Chip Roy backed the bill, while independent-caucusing Kevin Kiley voted no.
  • The win gives Johnson momentum on Trump's agenda, but his next test is a June 12 deadline to renew FISA Section 702, where Bill Pulte's intelligence appointment has strained Democratic support.
