Trump's border policy receives support; the White House and Congress respond to the Los Angeles immigration protests.

Republican leaders in the White House and Congress are urging lawmakers to support the heart of Trump’s agenda as soon as possible, according to CBS, adding that the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles add urgency to securing more resources for border security. House Speaker Johnson said Monday on X that the legislation, which addresses Trump’s tax, energy and immigration priorities, “provides the vital money needed to secure the border.” “The lawlessness in Los Angeles is another reason why we need to pass the Great Beautiful Act now,” Johnson said. He pledged that Congress would support Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff. White House press secretary Levitt sent a similar message earlier Monday, saying that the scenes unfolding in some areas of Los Angeles “prove that we urgently need more immigration enforcement officers and resources.”
