GOP targets budget reconciliation to fund immigration enforcement, Iran war, and voting rules
TL;DR Summary
Senate Republicans, led by Budget Chair Lindsey Graham, plan a major GOP-only budget reconciliation bill to fund immigration enforcement (ICE/DHS), back a potential Iran-war funding package, and advance voting-law changes via the SAVE America Act, aiming to bypass Democratic opposition and the 60-vote filibuster; the tactic faces questions over compliance with reconciliation rules and faces divided support within both parties and across chambers.
