However, House Education and the Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Wahlberg (R-MI) was briefly a no vote before flipping to yes. Wahlberg was seen by reporters talking to several members of leadership on the House floor, including Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Conference Chairwoman Lisa McClain (R-MI). It is unclear what the members were discussing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus did extract a legislative win from GOP leadership earlier in the day in exchange for their support in advancing the bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During a test vote, several members of the House Freedom Caucus demanded that leadership attach an immigration bill passed last Congress that would limit asylum and parole to the reconciliation bill in exchange for their votes, a source familiar with the matter<em> <\/em>told the <em>Washington Examiner.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-17\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-3\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Leadership denied that demand but agreed to hold a separate vote on the immigration bill, the source explained. A second source told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that leadership agreed to hold a vote on the immigration bill before July 4, as members of the House Freedom Caucus look to codify Trump\u2019s border policies and \u201censure Republican border wins are permanent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republican leadership hoped to pass the reconciliation bill sooner. However, GOP outcry over an \u201canti-weaponization\u201d fund announced by the Justice Department as part of a settlement agreement with Trump upended plans to usher the reconciliation bill through by a June 1 deadline set by the president.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Republican lawmakers concerned about who would be eligible for payouts from the $1.776 billion fund wanted assurances that the administration would not move forward with the creation of the fund before advancing the immigration enforcement spending bill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told House lawmakers last week the administration would not pick up plans to establish the fund, assuaging Senate Republican lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE), who previously expressed opposition to the fund\u2019s creation, told the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> he planned to support the reconciliation bill despite it not including a ban on the fund, as the court\u2019s ruling made it a \u201cdead issue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate passed the measure last Friday, with only one GOP \u201cno\u201d vote from Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), after an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/seven-republicans-vote-against-fisa-extension-after-bipartisan-plan-blows-up\/\" title=\"Seven Republicans ... against FISA extension after bipartisan plan blows up\">hourslong vote-a-rama<\/a> that ultimately did not include a ban on the DOJ fund.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bill funds Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement for three years. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House GOP passed a $70B immigration enforcement bill, 214-212, opposed by all Democrats and Kiley<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2912,"featured_media":2612608,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AP26118710546288.jpg?w=696","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[33709,32920,3813,41893,38710],"class_list":["post-2612607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-border-security","tag-house-republicans","tag-immigration","tag-immigration-reform","tag-u-s-congress"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/AP26118710546288.jpg?w=696","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612607","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2612607"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612607\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2612611,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612607\/revisions\/2612611"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2612608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2612607"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2612607"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2612607"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
