Senate Republicans advanced the FY 2026 budget resolution in late April, directing the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees to draft reconciliation legislation providing up to $72 billion in additional funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection through 2029. Committee markups are scheduled for mid-May following the release of draft text, with a target for Senate floor consideration before the June 1 deadline set by the administration. The reconciliation process allows passage by simple majority, bypassing the filibuster, though final enactment requires House concurrence and presidential signature. Key variables include the pace of committee action, any internal Republican holds, and alignment between the chambers on spending levels.
