US Republicans are working on a budget reconciliation bill to fund immigration enforcement, which may complicate their plans to pass other priority bills, including Pentagon funding due to the Iran war. The party is facing a deadline of June 1 to pass the bill, and any delays or failures may impact their agenda ahead of the election season.
Republicans are pushing to pass a budget reconciliation bill to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol. The bill is part of a two-step plan to end the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown. However, the party's leaders hope to keep the bill narrow to meet the June 1 deadline, which may force them to introduce a third measure to achieve their priorities. The Pentagon has requested a $200 billion supplemental address, and the White House has proposed $350 billion in defense spending through the reconciliation process. Republicans used budget reconciliation last year for tax cuts and Trump's spending priorities. This year, they plan to use it again, but the process is complicated by competing demands from fiscal hawks and moderates.
