WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 341-88 to pass H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026. This minibus provides full Fiscal Year 2026 funding for three appropriations bills: Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education; Defense; and Transportation and Housing and Urban Development. Rep. Chu (CA-28) released the following statement: 

“Under President Trump and Secretary Noem’s watch, ICE has devolved into a lawless militia with no regard for the rule of law or the American people’s safety. Trump has enabled ICE to operate with impunity, violate civil rights, and arrest anyone they please, even for explicitly discriminatory reasons like their accent or ethnicity. I cannot support legislation that increases funding while delivering no accountability measures for an out-of-control agency that has brought violence to communities across the country, including my district in Southern California.
