Congress Votes on Immigration and Spending Packages
The House passed HR 3697 to empower deportations of alien gang members with broad definitions, while a religious exemption failed. A $416.3 billion spending package (HR 3354) advanced, funding eight of twelve appropriations bills for 2018, with total discretionary spending around $1.13 billion in non emergency military outlays. A separate bid to shift funds from border wall to FEMA hurricane mitigation was defeated.
