Veto Message on H.R.504, the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act

The U.S. House of Representatives considers the veto message on H.R.504, the Miccosukee Reserved Area Amendments Act. The bill adds an area known as Osceola Camp to the reservation of the Miccosukee Tribe. The land is located within the Everglades National Park in Florida. President Donald Trump vetoed H.R.504 on December 30, 2025. He accused the tribe of obstructing his immigration agenda, disputed the tribe's connection to the land and balked at the federal government's trust responsibilities to Indian nations, inaccurately characterizing them as "special treatment." Following consideration on January 8, 2026, the House was unable to override the veto. The roll call was 236 to 188, falling short of the two-thirds majority of the House members.
