Republican leaders in the United States are urging lawmakers to support the core content of Trump's bill as soon as possible

The White House and Republican leaders in Congress are urging lawmakers to support the centerpiece of Trump's agenda as soon as possible, according to CBS, and say the ongoing immigration protests in Los Angeles add urgency to the fight for 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 vital funding needed to secure the border." "The lawlessness in Los Angeles is one more reason why we need to pass the Big Beautiful Bill right away," Johnson said. He promised Congress would support Immigration and Customs Enforcement staff. Mr. Levitt, the White House press secretary, sent a similar message earlier on Monday, saying the scenes in some parts of Los Angeles "demonstrate the urgent need for more immigration enforcement officers and resources."
