Senate Republicans advanced a fiscal year 2026 budget resolution in late April that directs the Judiciary and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees to produce reconciliation legislation providing up to $70 billion each in deficit-increasing spending, primarily for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection. Committees released draft text in early May totaling roughly $72 billion in new appropriations that can be obligated through 2029, with markups scheduled for the week of May 19 and leadership targeting final Senate passage by June 1. The process allows the measure to clear the chamber with a simple majority under expedited rules that limit amendments and preclude a filibuster. House action and conference negotiations remain ahead before the package could reach the president.
