Republican majorities in Congress have enabled use of the budget reconciliation process to advance immigration enforcement funding and other priorities with a simple majority vote, bypassing the filibuster. The Senate passed a roughly $70 billion package focused on ICE and CBP funding (S.2) on June 5, 2026, by a 52-47 vote after committee markups and amendment sessions, with the House following days later. Some Republican lawmakers have since floated a follow-on “Reconciliation 3.0” measure that could include defense spending, tax provisions, or safety-net changes, though timing remains uncertain ahead of the August recess and fall appropriations deadlines. Trader views reflect the procedural advantages of reconciliation under current partisan control alongside the compressed legislative calendar that could limit additional packages.
