Republicans control Congress and have advanced a narrow FY 2026 budget resolution instructing House and Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees to draft reconciliation legislation providing up to $72 billion for immigration enforcement, ICE, CBP, and related functions by a mid-May deadline. Committees released draft text in early May, which the Congressional Budget Office scored as adding $72 billion to deficits over ten years. The House adopted the budget resolution on a 215-211 party-line vote in late April, reflecting tight GOP margins and internal negotiations typical of reconciliation procedures that bypass the Senate filibuster. Work continues on the package amid discussions of potential additional reconciliation vehicles, with Senate action and final House floor consideration remaining key steps that could determine passage timing.
