Latest news, analysis and updates about Congress from Zorywire.
The White House sent Congress the text of an interim U.S.-Iran agreement, Reuters reported. The document sets a 60-day negotiating window while leaving Iran’s nuclear program, sanctions and the deal’s durability unresolved.
The House rejected a short-term extension of FISA Section 702, leaving a major surveillance authority at its June 12 deadline. Here is what Section 702 does, what expires and what Congress can do next.
The House passed S. 2, the Secure America Act, a nearly $70 billion immigration-enforcement funding bill for ICE, Border Patrol and DHS through fiscal 2029. The measure now goes to President Donald Trump after a 214-212 House vote.
The Senate passed S. 2 in a 52-47 vote, advancing roughly $70 billion for ICE, Border Patrol and related immigration enforcement operations. The bill is not law yet and must still pass the House before it can go to President Donald Trump.
The House passed the Ukraine Support Act in a 226-195 vote, combining Ukraine aid, defense loans and new Russia sanctions. The measure still must pass the Senate and be signed by President Donald Trump before becoming law.
