Reconciliation 2.0 Signed Into Law, Funding Immigration Enforcement Agencies
Since January, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have been officially in a shutdown. Because their work is deemed essential and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act provided them tens of billions of dollars, they were able to move dollars around to pay their employees and contractors during the shutdown.
The shutdown officially ended on June 10, 2026, when President Trump
signed
the Reconciliation 2.0 bill, officially called the “Secure America Act.” That law provides $70 billion over three years to fund ICE and CBP personnel and operations. The bill passed the Senate by a vote of 53-46 and passed the House by a vote of 214-212.
Congress now turns to regular appropriations and Reconciliation 3.0. Republican leaders are considering several remaining priorities, including President Trump’s request for $350 billion in national security funding and the SAVE Act, which would reform federal voter registration laws, and some health-related provisions. While discussions continue, prospects for Reconciliation 3.0 remain uncertain. Read more
