The U.S. House approved the Secure America Act on Tuesday,delivering almost $70 billion in advance funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) through September 2029. The measure cleared by a razor‑thin 214‑212 margin, with every Democrat opposing and every Republican supporting, according to the vote tally released by the House Clerk.

Secure America Act earmarks $38.5 billion for ICE

Under the new law, ICE will receive roughly $38.5 billion over three years, a level of certainty that agency leaders say will help sustain interior enforcement operatons. The funding is structured as advance annual allocations, meaning the agency will not have to wait for the annual appropriations process each fiscal year.

CBP receives $22.6 billion plus $3.5 billion for infrastructure

Customs and Border Protection is slated for $22.6 billion,while an additional $3.5 billion is set aside for border‑security infrastructure projects such as fencing, surveillance towers , and vehicle upgrades. These figures were highlighted in the bill’s text and confirmed by the House’s budget office.

Republican‑Democrat split produces 214‑212 vote

The vote split fell strictly along party lines; Rep.. David Kustoff (R‑TN) noted on social media that not a single Democrat voted for the measure, framing it as a “clear partisan vitory.” Senate Republican leader Senator Lindsey Graham (R‑SC) praised the outcome, saying the bill secures funding for “President Trump’s entire second term.”

Senate fate uncertain after House passage

While the House has cleared the bill, it now heads to a Senate still wrestling with internal GOP disagreements that previously forced the removal of controversial provisions. According to the report, earlier Republican infighting delayed Senate action and may resurface as a hurdle for final approval.

What provisions were strippd to win Senate floor?

The source notes that “certain provisions” were removed to appease Senate leaders, but does not specify which items were cut. Analysts are watching for whether the omitted measures—potentially related to immigration enforcement priorities—will be re‑introduced in a future amendment.
