House Republicans STEAMROLL obstructionist Democrats, secure ICE funding for rest of Trump's term
Democrats have worked desperately to defund or at least hinder President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration and mass deportation campaign. Their efforts have proven again to be in vain.Last summer, congressional Republicans circumvented the various obstacles presented by their leftist colleagues, using budget reconciliation to pass the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included $75 billion in new funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and tens of billions more for other agencies within the Department of Homeland Security.'All that Democrats have achieved by their shutdown is a useful reminder to the American people of their support for open borders.'The war over immigration policy and funding heated up in subsequent months, featuring a pitched battle in which Democrats partially shut down the DHS for 75 days, only to then unconditionally surrender, passing funding for the DHS in the wake of the longest government shutdown in its history.On Tuesday, Democrats were dealt another significant defeat.Days after it was passed by the U.S. Senate in a 52-47 vote, the Secure America Act went to a vote in the House. Ahead of the vote, the White House said in a statement, "The Secure America Act puts an end to Democrats’ political games by fully funding ICE and Border Patrol through President Trump’s term and providing the resources needed to keep our border secure, combat human trafficking, stop the flow of deadly drugs, dismantle criminal cartels, and enforce America’s immigration laws."RELATED: Republicans took ICE hostage — then bragged about saving it Kent NISHIMURA/AFP/Getty Images"It is imperative that Congress immediately passes the Secure America Act to fully fund these critical components," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "It has been more than 100 days since congressional Democrats defunded ICE and Border Patrol in a radical attempt to protect violent criminal illegal aliens and undermine President Trump’s highly successful border security agenda."House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), among the Democrats who futilely signaled their opposition to the bill, stated, "As if ripping health care and nutritional assistance in the One Big Ugly Bill wasn’t enough, 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.""As Democrats, we rise in strong opposition to this Republican scheme. Waste of taxpayer dollars," added Jeffries.To Jeffries' chagrin, the Secure America Act passed in a 214-212 party-line vote.This funding bill will allocate $38 billion to ICE, $26 billion to Customs and Border Protection, and $5 billion in additional funding to the DHS through September 2029.Following the vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) emphasized that "Washington Democrats gained **NOTHING** from their RECKLESS CRUSADE to return our country to OPEN BORDERS and UNFETTERED MASS MIGRATION. Republicans will ALWAYS stand with America's law enforcement." "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 illegal immigrants in American communities — policies that have been soundly rejected by the American people over and over again," wrote Johnson. "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."President Trump is set to ratify the Secure America Act in the Oval Office on Wednesday.Like Blaze News?

Graham Platner secures Maine’s Democratic Senate nomination; Lindsey Graham wins Republican nomination in South Carolina – live
This live blog is now closed.Graham Platner shrugs off scandals to win Maine Democratic Senate primaryTrump-backed Pamela Evette and Alan Wilson head to runoff in South Carolina GOP governor raceSign up for the Breaking News US emailThe polls have closed in Maine, and we can report that Graham Platner, the Democrat expected to win his party’s nomination for US Senate, has received at least one vote: from Stephen King, who announced on social media that he voted for the candidate.Platner’s chief competitor, Maine governor Janet Mills, had suspended her campaign citing lack of funds, but there was a late push from some out-of-state Democrats for voters to supports Mills after Platner was accused by a former romantic partner of having been physically abusive to her on two occasions between 2013 and 2015.Collins, 73, will now face off against the presumptive Democratic nominee, Graham Platner, a 41-year-old marine veteran and oysterman with no national political experience and a controversial past. Despite dredged-up racist, sexist and homophobic online posts – and a now-covered-up tattoo that resembled a Nazi symbol – Platner continues to amass a rare kinetic energy that has seen hundreds of Mainers flock to town halls across the state to hear his gravelly voiced excoriation of Washington. His rise ultimately forced the state’s two-term governor, Janet Mills, to suspend her primary bid, citing dwindling financial resources.Platner’s youth and outsider profile have created a sense that Maine – a state with the oldest and whitest population in the country – may be ready for a change in political leadership. There’s a prevailing sense of “we like her, and she’s been good for Maine, but it’s time for somebody new or younger”, one former state Republican official, granted anonymity to speak candidly about the race, said of Collins. The senator’s campaign spokesperson did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment about her performance to date. Continue reading...
