Alabama's congressional delegation praised the passage of the Secure America Act on Tuesday after the House approved the nearly $70 billion border security package on a 214-212 vote.

The bill funds U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection through September 2029, locking in resources for the remainder of President Trump's term. The Senate passed the bill on a 52-47 party-line vote last week.
