Senate Bolts For Memorial Day, Punts Bill Funding Immigration Enforcement Until June
The Senate has decided to recess for Memorial Day without passing a $72 billion reconciliation bill aimed at funding immigration enforcement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed that the bill, which was a priority for President Trump, will not reach his desk by the June 1 deadline. Ongoing disputes among Republicans regarding the allocation of funds have contributed to the delay.
- ▪The reconciliation bill would allocate over $30 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.
- ▪Senate Republicans are divided over a fund that may be used by Trump and his allies, raising concerns about its potential misuse.
- ▪Provisions for Secret Service funding and other immigration-related appropriations were struck down by the Senate Parliamentarian.
