What this amendment would do

SA 5186, submitted by Mr. Kaine, aims to add a section to the concurrent resolution S. Con. Res. 33.

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund focused on ensuring oversight in immigration enforcement and detention.

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to adjust budget allocations, aggregates, and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to this oversight.
  • This may include providing full funding for the Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman and the Department of Homeland Security's Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties.
  • This is permitted as long as the legislation does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
