Republicans control narrow majorities in both chambers following the 2024 elections, enabling use of the budget reconciliation process to advance spending priorities with simple majorities rather than facing filibusters. In late April 2026, the Senate and House adopted a concurrent budget resolution directing the Judiciary and Homeland Security committees to draft legislation providing up to $70 billion in additional funding for immigration enforcement by May 15. The Congressional Budget Office scored draft text in early May, estimating a $72 billion deficit impact over ten years. House passage would require near-unanimous Republican support given the slim margin, similar to the 215-214 vote on the prior major reconciliation package in 2025. No floor vote has occurred as of early June, leaving timing dependent on committee completion and leadership scheduling.
