House Speaker John A. Boehner surrendered Tuesday to Democratic demands to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security, ending a tense three-month showdown over immigration. But the move could further strain relations between the speaker and hard-line conservatives, whose growing dissent threatens the future of the unified Republican majority.
After refusing to do so for weeks, Boehner (R-Ohio) cleared the way for the House to vote on a bill replenishing DHS funds through September. The legislation passed 257-167, with the support of all Democrats who voted but just 75 Republicans, less than a third of the caucus. President Obama was expected to sign it swiftly.
