2026-05-21: Senate leaves for recess without voting on ICE funding package — The Senate adjourned for its Memorial Day recess without a floor vote on a reconciliation package providing roughly 71.7 billion dollars in additional ICE and CBP funding, CBS News reported. Sen. Jeff Merkley noted at the May 20 Budget Committee markup that ICE and CBP were still sitting on 103 billion dollars in unobligated funds as of the end of March, arguing no new money was warranted.
