Senate Republicans advanced a fiscal year 2026 budget resolution in late April that unlocks the reconciliation process for a spending package focused on immigration enforcement and border security. Committees in both chambers have since released draft text totaling roughly $72 billion over ten years for agencies including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, with instructions to finalize language by mid-May. The procedure allows the bill to reach the Senate floor for a simple-majority vote, bypassing the usual 60-vote threshold. Leadership has set a target for final Senate passage by early June, though committee markups, potential amendments, and coordination with the House remain key steps that could shift the timeline.
