Trump Picks Up Legislative Win As Bill Funding ICE, CBP Heads to His Desk
In any event, Trump picked up a win on Tuesday, as legislation called the “Secure America Act” is heading to his desk:
Why Murkowski would vote against a measure to fund agencies that fall under homeland security is a mystery. But that said, it’s time to boot her butt out of the Republican caucus and be done with it already. She’s practically a Democrat anyway.
“With today’s vote, House and Senate Republicans have officially ended the third Democrat government shutdown of this Congress,” Johnson said in a statement.
President Trump doesn’t get many legislative wins these days despite the fact that Republicans control both chambers of Congress
“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,” he continued.
BREAKING: The House just voted 214-212 to pass the Senate's reconciliation bill to fund ICE and CBP with $70 billion over the next three years. The bill will now head to President Trump's desk for signature. Every Republican present voted yes, every Democrat present voted no.…

“All that Democrats have achieved by their shutdown is a useful reminder to the American people of their support for open borders and keeping criminal [aliens] in American communities — policies that have been soundly rejected by the American people over and over again. We hope this episode serves as a future reminder to Democrats that when they shut the government down, they will receive less than nothing in return,” Johnson added.
The Republican Governor’s Association was on board with the legislation because it helps fund agencies responsible for ridding the country of non-citizens. Which, of course, is why Democrats opposed it.
For his part, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) took a victory lap
Again, a rare legislative win for Trump, but a good one. It’s a Democrat disgrace (and a GOP disgrace to a point) over how long it took to get this measure to Trump’s desk.
