Senate Republicans released a budget measure to fast-track funding for ICE and Border Patrol through 2029. Lindsey Graham, the Senate Budget Chair, filed a 58-page budget resolution as the vehicle for the plan. Republicans say the resolution authorizes roughly $70 billion in new spending authority for the Judiciary and the Department of Homeland Security, not the earlier $140 billion figure. They plan to use a budget fast-track process so the enforcement funding can pass without Democratic votes.
