On July 3, 2025, the House agreed to the Senate amendment to H.R. 1 by recorded vote, 218-214. The roll call lists Mannion, John W. [D-NY] voting No.
Assessments
The promised federal spending outcome was enacted during Mannion's current congressional term: Public Law 119-21 funded additional Customs and Border Protection personnel and provided DOJ/EOIR funding tied to immigration judge and support staff hiring. Mannion voted against the final bill, so this should not receive an effort badge or be framed as his legislative accomplishment, but the policy outcome itself was delivered in the same term.
