Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026

The House amendment replaces the Senate's detailed appropriations bill with a simple continuing resolution that extends funding through May 22, 2026, ratifies spending obligations incurred during a February lapse in appropriations, and authorizes payments for federal employee compensation. Rather than specifying funding amounts for individual agencies like Customs and Border Protection or FEMA, this version essentially kicks the budget process down the road by a few months without making the substantive policy and funding decisions contained in the Senate version.

The Senate version cuts U.S. Customs and Border Protection Operations and Support funding from $17.7 billion to $11.1 billion and eliminates nearly $10.6 billion in funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, replacing those amounts with $0 in the explanatory statement. The Senate version also adds new provisions including requirements for congressional oversight of detention facilities, restrictions on congressional members undergoing security screening, appropriations for the Supreme Court and Federal Aviation Administration, and reporting requirements on migrant and detention estimates.
