New York [US], July 5: President Trump invited all members of Congress to witness the historic moment as he signed the OBBB at the White House. To heighten the atmosphere, B-2 stealth bombers flew over the White House as the event took place.
After President Trump spent nearly 20 hours on the phone, constantly updating his Truth Social status, the House of Representatives finally passed the bill with a vote of 218-214, meaning that almost all Republicans voted in favor. All 212 Democrats voted against, and the remaining two votes against came from two Republicans, Thomas Massie (Kentucky) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pennsylvania).
In another victory for Mr. Trump, the US Supreme Court on July 3 lifted restrictions imposed by a lower court that protected eight illegal immigrants from being deported to a third country, South Sudan, according to Reuters. Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin called the Supreme Court's decision "a victory for the rule of law and the safety and security of Americans," and said the group of eight were sent to South Sudan on July 4.
Yesterday, Reuters reported that President Trump said he was willing to allow foreigners to continue working in the US if they receive sponsorship from American farmers.
