119-SCONRES-33 — A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2026 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2027 through 2035.

  2. Pending Consideration

What this amendment would do

SA 5422, submitted by Mr. Blumenthal, aims to add a new section to the congressional budget resolution for fiscal year 2026 (S. Con. Res. 33).

The purpose of this amendment is to create a deficit-neutral reserve fund to support legislation that prevents the immigration detention or deportation of law-abiding United States veterans, servicemembers, and their families.

Specifically, it would allow the Senate Budget Committee Chairman to adjust budgetary levels and the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation that:

  • Prohibits the Department of Homeland Security or the Department of Justice from detaining or deporting these individuals.
  • Does not increase the deficit between fiscal years 2026 and 2035.
