Senate Republicans Launch Party-Line Reconciliation Bill to Fund ICE, Iran War, and SAVE Act

Senate Budget Committee Chairman Graham announced plans to "expeditiously move" a reconciliation bill that bundles ICE enforcement funding, Iran war supplemental appropriations, and the SAVE Act voter eligibility requirements. The party-line vehicle bypasses the 60-vote filibuster, cutting Democrats out entirely. Graham separately stated he prefers passing the Iran war supplemental ($200B+ Pentagon request) through regular order. Schumer warned that using reconciliation for election law changes is an abuse of the process. Republicans face a 60-90 day window to pass the bill before the July recess.
