Fact Check
All core elements of the claim are verified by multiple independent primary news sources. CNBC and NBC News both confirm the House passed the Secure America Act 214-212 (a razor-thin margin) on June 9, 2026, providing ~$70 billion for immigration enforcement including ICE funding, following Senate passage 52-47 the previous Friday. The Detroit Free Press confirms the bill is being sent to Trump's desk. Cryptobriefing provides the funding breakdown showing ICE allocation. The 214-212 margin clearly qualifies as 'razor-thin.'
Summary

The U.S. House passed the Secure America Act, advancing a $70 billion immigration funding package focused on immigration enforcement, including funding for ICE, after the Senate approved it last week. The measure cleared the House by a razor-thin margin, underscoring how difficult it remains to move partisan legislation. If transmitted promptly, it could reach President Donald Trump as early as Tuesday. The close vote also points to a narrowly divided congressional environment that could affect the timing and priority of other policy debates, including digital asset regulation.
