Rules Committee Hearing H.Res.___

The House Rules Committee convened on June 4, 2026, to consider granting same-day authority for the House to expedite consideration of the Senate's forthcoming reconciliation bill, which includes additional funding for ICE and CBP. The committee debated the urgency and merits of providing approximately $70 billion more to these agencies, which already have significant unspent funds. Several amendments were proposed to redirect focus and funding toward healthcare affordability, ending the war in Iran, food security, and support for farmers, but all were rejected. The committee ultimately approved the rule to allow expedited consideration of the reconciliation measure, emphasizing the priority given to funding homeland security agencies despite opposition highlighting other pressing domestic issues.
