House Republicans unlock reconciliation process to fund ICE and Border Patrol without Democrats
The House of Representatives approved a budget blueprint funding immigration enforcement for the rest of President Donald Trump's term over Democrats’ fierce objections on Wednesday.
Lawmakers voted 215-211 along party lines to take a critical step toward ending the record-breaking Department of Homeland Security funding lapse that began on Feb. 14.
Rep. Kevin Kiley, I-Calif., who caucuses with Republicans, voted present. House Democrats united in opposition to the immigration enforcement measure while every Republican present voted in support.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., could spare just a handful of defections with Republicans' slim majority.
REPUBLICANS CAN FUND ICE FOR AN ENTIRE DECADE WITHOUT A SINGLE DEM VOTE: SEN CRUZ
The House's approval of the Senate-passed budget framework unlocks the partisan budget reconciliation process, which Republicans are using to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection without support from congressional Democrats.
Trump has given Republicans a June 1 deadline to send a budget reconciliation bill to his desk, giving GOP leadership little room for error.
"We have a real sense of urgency about getting this done," Johnson told Fox News Wednesday.
The successful vote came after more than a dozen GOP lawmakers ranging from conservatives to farm-state and Midwestern Republicans withheld their votes over concerns unrelated to the budget framework.
Republican leadership held the vote open for more than five hours to win over the numerous holdouts and six GOP lawmakers who voted "no" before flipping to "yes."
Those lawmakers included Reps. Max Miller, R-Ohio, Andy Harris, R-Md., Victoria Spartz, R-Ind., Harriet Hageman, R-Wyo., Andrew Clyde, R-Ga., and Michael Cloud, R-Texas.
"This is why they say lawmaking is like watching sausage be made," Johnson told reporters Wednesday. "That's what this is, but we'll get it done."
The budget resolution teeing up funding for Trump's immigration agenda is just one piece of Republicans' DHS funding strategy.
SENATE BORDER BUDGET TRIUMPHS AFTER ALL-NIGHT SESSION WHILE TRUMP-BACKED HOUSE BILL LAGS
House GOP leadership has not specified when it plans to take up a Senate-passed measure funding the rest of the department.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., agreed on a two-track approach to fund DHS by steering around Democratic opposition weeks ago. But Johnson has so far declined to put the Senate’s partial DHS bill on the House floor over concerns that it zeroes out funding for immigration enforcement.
Johnson said earlier this week that some "modifications" to the measure may be necessary but has not gone into detail about specific changes.
The White House on Tuesday sent Hill offices an internal memo, obtained by Fox News Digital, urging passage of the Senate's partial DHS bill, raising the pressure on Johnson to act.
Many rank-and-file House Republicans want ICE and the Border Patrol funded before the rest of the department, which could mean a delay for several more weeks.
"I think that there's a serious problem with the bill in that it zeroes out, ICE and CBP," Rep. Eric Burlison, a member of the conservative House Freedom Caucus, told Fox News. "It's one thing to not do the funding, but it’s a whole other thing to put zeros in the bill."
"I know that the speaker's working on making sure that we have all the assurances and even maybe the cash in hand in terms of reconciliation being wrapped up, finalized before we take the 95% of the rest of Homeland Security," House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, said.
Meanwhile, the White House is warning that it will be short on funds to pay the department’s hundreds of thousands of employees beginning in May.
"If this funding is exhausted, the Administration will be unable to pay DHS personnel beginning in May, which will once again unleash havoc on air travel, leave critical law enforcement officers—including our brave Secret Service agents—and the Coast Guard without paychecks, and jeopardize national security," the White House memo published Tuesday states.
House Republicans’ approval of the Senate blueprint also effectively shuts the door on adding other GOP priorities to the budget package. Some GOP lawmakers had floated adding affordability-focused provisions, defense supplemental funding and the SAVE America Act to the bill.
GOP leadership had argued for weeks that a larger bill risked derailing the budget reconciliation process.
"We're focused on funding Homeland Security and stopping the Democrat shutdown and, in particular, using reconciliation to fund ICE and CBP because Democrats refused to fund it," Arrington said. "Everything else is not germane to this conversation."
'Mission: Impossible' star Ving Rhames collapses at restaurant, rushed to hospital: report
Ving Rhames is "on his way home" after he was rushed to the hospital earlier Wednesday, his rep confirmed, according to a report.
The 66-year-old "Mission: Impossible" star collapsed while eating at the Granville restaurant in North Hollywood, his manager Brad Kramer told Variety.
"He sounded like everyday Ving and cracked a joke over the phone," Kramer added.

Rhames has been in all eight "Mission: Impossible" movies and is also known for his role in 1994’s "Pulp Fiction."
The star currently hosts the docuseries "History’s Deadliest" on the History Channel.
Rhames guides viewers through some of the most catastrophic natural disasters ever recorded, where the danger is real and survival is anything but guaranteed.
DREW CAREY SAYS MISCONCEPTIONS LED HIM TO IGNORE ATTACK SYMPTOMS
The star recently told Fox News Digital that explosions, car chases and high-altitude chaos aside, he’s never feared for his safety while bringing "Mission: Impossible" to life, all thanks to the steady hand of Tom Cruise.
"Tom Cruise made it quite safe for us," Rhames insisted.
From the very beginning, Rhames said the 63-year-old star managed to surprise him.
"[What surprised me about him?] I’d say the fact that Tom Cruise does not see color," Rhames said. "To work with a Caucasian actor who really didn’t see color, I was very moved by the experience."
"[My favorite memories] are talking to him off-stage," said Rhames. "Learning secrets he knew about the industry that he was able to talk to me about."
The biggest lesson Rhames said Cruise passed along was surprisingly simple: "Treat each person fairly."

Fan given suspended prison sentence for racially abusing Marcus Rashford
If you thought language wasn't punishable by law, take a look at the current state of international soccer to truly appreciate the shifting boundaries of free speech. In a landscape where the howl of the crowd has historically been a lawless racket, the legal hammer is beginning to fall with unprecedented weight.
While the conduct was undeniably unsavory, the racially charged language used by a 19-year-old fan against Barcelona forward Marcus Rashford prompted a legal firestorm.
ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW!
According to the Asturias Prosecutor’s Office, the teen targeted Rashford with bottom-of-the-barrel insults during a clash with Real Oviedo in September 2025.
The consequences are 15 months of a suspended prison sentence, a multi-year ban from all sporting venues and over $5,000 in combined fines and moral damages.
ARGENTINA-PUERTO RICO SOCCER MATCH RELOCATED FROM CHICAGO TO FLORIDA AMID IMMIGRATION UNREST
For some, the idea of a prison cell for verbal insults, no matter how abhorrent, feels like a massive overcorrection. It's a jarring shift from the traditional, often rowdy atmosphere of the bleachers to a state-monitored legal zone.
While a suspended sentence may keep the fan out of a physical cell provided they complete requisite rehabilitation programs, the message from the Spanish authorities is loud and clear: they are more than happy to act as the personal muscle for high-profile athletes.
In a statement obtained by ESPN, La Liga touted the ruling as a "fight against racism in sport," reaffirming its role as a pioneering institution in combating hatred, despite technically lacking the authority to sanction fans directly.
By turning the terrace into a courtroom, the league is no longer just refereeing a game but attempting to legislate the very soul of the supporter.

Small-town Virginia mayor reportedly arrested for allegedly showing up drunk to train derailment
A recently elected mayor of a small town in Virginia was arrested Tuesday after allegedly showing up to a train derailment site while intoxicated, according to local reports.
Paul Morrison, the 57-year-old mayor of Rich Creek, was taken into custody on a charge of public intoxication, WSLS reported, citing jail records.
The train derailment occurred in the afternoon near Rich Creek, which sits along the border of West Virginia and Virginia, the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) said.
The agency added that portions of the incident were reported inside West Virginia and that the train belonged to Norfolk Southern Railway.
Contaminants of soybean oil had reportedly leaked. Officials confirmed it was considered non-hazardous and that crews are conducting recovery operations.
After the incident, Morrison reportedly showed up intoxicated and was subsequently arrested by deputies with the Giles County Sheriff’s Office, WSLS said, citing sources.
Details of what led to the incident and Morrison’s arrest are not immediately clear.

He was taken to the New River Valley Regional Jail and later released on his own recognizance, according to jail records, the outlet added.
Morrison is the mayor of a small, historic town with a population of roughly 750 people.
He reportedly became mayor in November after a write-in campaign. Out of 106 votes cast, 77 residents manually wrote in Morrison’s name, according to local outlet Cardinal News.
His victory follows a recent leadership shakeup in the small community, where five of six Rich Creek Town Council members, as well as the previous mayor appointed in early 2025, abruptly resigned, the outlet reported.
Former Mayor Anne Chambers said her resignation came after internal conflicts and a hostile work environment reached a breaking point, according to Cardinal News.
Fox News Digital reached out to Rich Creek, Giles County Sheriff’s Office and the New River Valley Regional Jail for more information.
Raiders legend gives blessing to first overall pick Fernando Mendoza to wear No. 15: 'He's perfect'
One of the first major decisions for some rookies after the NFL Draft is what jersey number they wish to wear to kick off their careers.
Sometimes, those numbers work against the rookies, whether it’s players already owning their desired digits or a retired number getting in the way.
Las Vegas Raiders first overall pick Fernando Mendoza had a slight hiccup for his No. 15 heading into the draft. But the man known for the number by the franchise gave his blessing to the quarterback of the future.

"He deserves my blessing," ex-Raiders quarterback and coach Tom Flores said about Mendoza donning No. 15 next season, according to the team’s official website. "Because if he’s not the real deal, I don’t know what the hell I’m doing."
The Raiders never formally retired Flores’ number, but he wanted to make sure to let Mendoza know how much he wants him to wear the number Mendoza starred in for the Hoosiers.
THE MOST INTRIGUING TEAMS AND PLAYERS OF THE 2026 NFL DRAFT'S FIRST ROUND
"He’s perfect," Flores said of the Heisman Trophy winner. "He can make every throw. He can make the plays. What can’t he do? He does it all. He’s fun to watch."
Flores rocked No. 15 for the Raiders from 1960-66, throwing for over 11,000 yards and 92 touchdowns during that span. He also starred for the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs during his playing days.
After retiring, Flores went into coaching with his old Raiders squad and ended up leading them to a Super Bowl victory in 1981. Then, in 2021, Flores was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Mendoza was asked about Flores’ blessing to wear No. 15.
"It speaks to the testament of once a Raider, always a Raider. Of how involved the alumni is. And I’m so blessed to be a part of this organization," Mendoza said.
"I can’t thank [Flores] enough. I’m so blessed."
Mendoza enters his NFL career with high expectations, not just being the No. 1 overall pick, but playing for a proud franchise that is hoping to get back to its Super Bowl-winning ways.
Mendoza will join the rest of the Raiders’ rookie class at minicamp Friday.

Romanian national learns fate for swatting US officials, including members of Congress, judges
A Romanian national who admitted to participating in a series of swatting calls and bomb threats targeting U.S. government officials — including members of Congress, Cabinet-level officials, federal judges and heads of federal law enforcement agencies — was sentenced Wednesday to four years in prison.
Federal prosecutors asked a judge to impose a five-year sentence for Thomasz Szabo, 27, who pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy and threat charges.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson presided over the case in Washington, D.C.
Szabo, who used the online aliases "Plank," "Jonah" and "Cypher," pleaded guilty on June 2, 2025, to one count of conspiracy and one count of threats involving explosives, according to the Justice Department.
TRUMP CABINET NOMINEES, APPOINTEES TARGETED WITH ‘VIOLENT, UNAMERICAN THREATS’
"This administration will not tolerate attacks on the institutions and individuals who serve this country," said U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro. "Szabo was extradited from Romania to face justice in an American courtroom, and today he has reaped the consequences of his actions."
Swatting, the act of making hoax threats to provoke a tactical law enforcement response at a target's home, has become a prolific form of harassment in recent years and poses an increasing public safety hazard.
"Swatting is not just a nuisance, it’s extremely dangerous," said U.S. Capitol Police Chief Michael Sullivan. "I am proud of our investigators, as well as thankful for our prosecutors and law enforcement partners for their steadfast efforts to ensure justice is served. This shows that we will cross the globe to track threats down."
Court documents state that, beginning in 2018, Szabo organized online chat servers in Romania centered around "trolling."
FEDS CHARGE 2 EUROPEANS WITH ‘SWATTING’ PLOT TARGETING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS, OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS
By 2020, prosecutors say, he began his swatting campaign. Also charged in the scheme is Nemanja Radovanovic of Serbia.
In December 2023, Szabo instructed his associates to choose targets from both the Democratic and Republican parties.
Radovanovic and an associate, Alan Filion, allegedly targeted at least 25 members of Congress or their relatives, along with dozens of other state and federal officials.
"Over and over, police departments and other first responders were hijacked by the defendant and deployed to fictitious emergencies," prosecutors wrote. "As a result, fewer personnel and resources were available to respond to real emergencies."
The pair reportedly bragged to Szabo about their exploits, stating, "I did 25-plus swatting [calls] today," and claimed they created "massive havoc in America" with "$500,000-plus in taxpayer [dollars] wasted in just two days."
Szabo was extradited from Romania in November 2024.
Filion, who was 18 at the time of his sentencing in February 2025, also received four years in prison after pleading guilty to making approximately 375 swatting calls between August 2022 and January 2024.
Radovanovic's case is still pending, according to officials.
Melania Trump embraces AI education initiative in White House tech push: 'She's been a champion'
EXCLUSIVE: First lady Melania Trump is carving out a forward-looking role in the White House, positioning herself as a leading voice on artificial intelligence and education as the administration embraces emerging technology, according to an exclusive interview with her senior advisor.
The first lady this week hosted an immersive event at the White House tennis pavilion, a space she designed during her husband’s first term, where students used Meta virtual reality headsets and AI-powered glasses to explore British landmarks and examine historical artifacts.
The event, which coincided with a visit from Queen Camilla, highlighted Melania Trump’s broader initiative, Fostering the Future Together, a global effort focused on expanding access to technology and education for children.
"She wanted to create an innovative cross-cultural educational experience," senior advisor Marc Beckman told Fox News Digital, describing the event as part of her ongoing push to integrate artificial intelligence into learning.
TRUMP, ALONGSIDE FIRST LADY, TO SIGN BILL CRIMINALIZING REVENGE PORN AND AI DEEPFAKES
Students first used VR headsets to virtually visit sites, including Buckingham Palace, Stonehenge and the Giant’s Causeway before engaging directly with Queen Camilla.
They later used AI-enabled glasses to examine curated artifacts from the White House collection and the National Archives, with the technology providing real-time historical context.
The artifacts included a portrait of John Adams, the first U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom, a World War II-era map associated with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and a bust of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, all selected to underscore the longstanding relationship between the two nations.
Beckman said the initiative reflects a broader focus by the first lady on artificial intelligence and education, which has become a central theme of her work during the administration.

"She has been a champion of artificial intelligence and education for children," he said.
Her interest in AI predates her return to the White House. Before reentering public life, Melania Trump worked to develop an AI-powered audiobook version of her memoir, released in multiple languages and an effort Beckman said gave her firsthand experience with the technology.
That background has informed her support for the Presidential AI Challenge, a program aimed at engaging students across all 50 states in technology-focused education and competition.
Beckman also pointed to her recent appearance at the United Nations Security Council, where she emphasized the role artificial intelligence could play in expanding access to knowledge and education worldwide.
"This theme just keeps going — children, education, technology," he said.
With additional partnerships, regional initiatives and research efforts already in development, Beckman said the first lady plans to continue expanding her AI-focused agenda in the months ahead.
'Are you effing kidding me?': California residents react to street being renamed after Charlie Kirk
Liberal residents of Orange County, California, expressed anger after a street was renamed after slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Street signs bearing Kirk’s name appeared in Westminster on the road leading to City Hall this week. Portions of All American Way were redesignated as Charlie Kirk Way after the City Council approved the idea last fall.
Kirk, a free speech advocate and founder of Turning Point USA, was killed while speaking at Utah Valley University during a TPUSA campus tour in September 2025.
The name change left some Southern California locals fuming, according to Los Angeles news outlet ABC7.
MELANIA TRUMP CALLS FOR ABC TO FIRE JIMMY KIMMEL OVER ‘HATEFUL AND VIOLENT RHETORIC'
"I think that's so hateful," Los Angeles resident Ashley Lawrence said in the report.
"I thought it was a joke," said Ann Galvan from Garden Grove.
"Are you effing kidding me? Sorry, that was my gut reaction," Westminster resident Terry Rains also said.
Rains organized a protest in December to try to stop the street-renaming effort. She said the street’s name, All American Way, is already "inclusive" and welcoming.
She held signs for ABC7 that depicted photos of the city council members that said, "Vote them Out." She also held up another sign that said, "No Kirk Way! No Kirk Day! Hands Off A.A.W!"
"These are all public buildings, and so tainting the name just completely denigrates the entire ... what that stands for," Rains said.
Westminster Mayor Chi Charlie Nguyen, a Republican who fled communism in Vietnam in the 1970s, said renaming the street was his idea.
"By doing this, we promote the freedom. The freedom of speech, freedom for everyone to engage in open communication here in the City of Westminster," Nguyen said.
FCC CALLS IN DISNEY-OWNED ABC STATIONS FOR EARLY LICENSE REVIEW IN WAKE OF JIMMY KIMMEL CONTROVERSY
The City Council approved the measure in a 4-1 vote in November 2025. The council also voted to designate Kirk’s birthday, Oct. 14, Charlie Kirk Day.
"I myself am very inspired by what Charlie Kirk has been doing for the country, what he's been doing to the younger people, for the next generation," Nguyen added.

Reacting to the complaints, he said, "You can't please everyone."
The mayor defended the signs in comments to ABC7, saying they are not meant to be political but are intended to celebrate freedom of speech.
"I'm not saying that Charlie Kirk is a Republican or Democrat. I don't take it that way," he told the outlet. "I look at the way that he is dedicated. He is sacrificing to do what needs to be done for our country, and he is a patriot. Those are the things that I look at."
According to ABC7, the city council said the street redesignation does not officially change the street name or addresses and instead applies to the physical street signs between Westminster Boulevard and 13th Street.
Mayor Nguyen's office did not immediately return a request for comment.
TPUSA reporter attacked at anti-ICE protest speaks out after three indicted in assault case
A Turning Point USA reporter who was assaulted during an anti-ICE protest in Minneapolis is speaking out after a federal grand jury handed down indictments on Tuesday for three individuals in connection with the attack. The indicted individuals were identified by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche as Christopher Ostroushko, DeYanna Ostroushko and Paige Ostroushko.
"[Savanah] Hernandez was allegedly surrounded, physically assaulted, and shoved to the ground — simply because she was identified by the defendants as a conservative journalist. That is NOT 'peaceful protest.' These deplorable actions as charged in the indictment will not be tolerated in America, and this Department of Justice will always punish unhinged acts of political violence," Blanche wrote on X.
Frontlines TPUSA reporter Savanah Hernandez told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that she was "grateful" to see indictments brought against her alleged attackers.
"I feel so grateful that the federal government is actually paying attention to assaults on journalists," she said. "For years, both myself and my friends have been attacked for doing our jobs. So, to see the DOJ and the FBI take this seriously and utilize the full force of the government and the justice system to help Americans like myself is incredible."
Hernandez also expressed her gratitude to the grand jury, saying, "I'm just grateful that a grand jury was able to watch the evidence that was brought forth and come to this conclusion. Again, this isn't a left versus right issue and this wasn't the Trump DOJ that was politically persecuting people, this was a grand jury that came to this decision based off of the evidence that was brought forward."
The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office announced on Wednesday it has charged 51-year-old Christopher Ostroushko with one count of fifth-degree assault. News of the charges broke while Hernandez was speaking to Fox News Digital. In response, she said that she was "grateful that they were at least willing to bring charges forward against Chris."
Hernandez was reporting on an anti-ICE protest on April 11 outside the Whipple Federal Building, an ICE field office that also serves as a detention facility, when the incident occurred. Hernandez previously told Fox News Digital that she did not engage with protesters, and was standing on the sidelines filming the demonstration. She said that things escalated when the protesters figured out that she worked for TPUSA, an organization founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
Video of the incident shows a large crowd surrounding Hernandez with several people screaming at her simultaneously. The TPUSA reporter previously told Fox News Digital that protesters blew horns in her face and yelled obscenities at her. She also alleged that Christopher Ostroushko, a local activist, shoved her from behind and screamed in her ear as his daughter, Paige Ostroushko, blew a whistle in her ear.
Hernandez was heard on video saying she was trying to leave and later said that, despite her attempts to get out of the situation, activists blocked her in. She said that after four or five attacks, a deputy stepped in and escorted her to a police vehicle. She sustained some injuries, with Frontlines TPUSA later saying that she had suffered a concussion, two sprains and multiple bruises.
"I was just brutally assaulted by multiple people outside of the Whipple ICE facility in Minneapolis," Hernandez wrote on X on April 11. "Multiple people swung on me and a grown man pushed me to the ground. My glasses are broken. ANTIFA still alive and well."
Liberal streamer Andrew Mercado condemned the assault in a post on X, saying that it "shouldn't have happened."
"Savannah [sic] was filming, not engaging with anyone, and it escalated into a physical confrontation that ultimately gave law enforcement a reason to step in and declare an unlawful assembly, shutting the entire protest down," Mercado wrote.
On April 15, Hernandez wrote on X that she had cancelled multiple interviews, saying that she felt "drained" after previous interviews and wanted to give herself "time to recover." Hernandez added that she had been dealing with headaches, dizziness and lightheadedness, revealing that a doctor confirmed that she had a concussion.

Christopher Ostroushko said in an April 15 interview with "Pushing The Limits" that he and his family are "absolutely not violent people" and that they "tend to shy away from it." In the same interview, he denied being at the front of the protest and said that he "stayed at the back and kind of watched what was going on."
Hernandez refuted the Ostroushko family's narrative, saying "if I hit them first, it would be on camera." She noted that there were "multiple angles of Paige walking up to me as I’m standing by myself." The reporter added that DeYanna Ostroushko, Christopher's wife, was the one who "came up and started harassing me."
"At no point was I walking up to these people," Hernandez told Fox News Digital in a previous interview. "All three of them walked up to me. The mother and father shoved me first and then instructed their daughter to come assault me."
When speaking to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Hernandez recalled the attack, again saying that Christopher, Paide and DeYanna Ostroushko approached her first.
Earlier this month, Hernandez told Fox News Digital that the assault was especially jarring because, in her view, it crossed a major line.
"There is an aspect that or a threshold that has been passed now," she said at the time. "Typically in the United States, typically in the West... it's a basic common thing that men don't attack women that are unarmed and not touching them. So a threshold has been passed with that and that was why this was so jarring to me."
Fox News Digital reached out to the lawyer representing the Ostroushko family for comment.
