President Donald Trump urged the Senate to act on his massive tax and immigration package “as soon as possible” following narrow passage in the House early Thursday. Changes are expected in the Senate.

The White House requested the original assessment in February as it was preparing Mr. Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation. Even after the council produced its first assessment, Mr. Trump proceeded to sign the proclamation that put forward the opposite claim in order to activate wartime deportation powers.

House Republicans have taken a major step forward on President Donald Trump’s agenda. The House early Thursday passed a legislative package that combines tax breaks, spending cuts, border security funding and other priorities.
