The bill — a continuing resolution that will essentially extend fiscal 2024 spending levels through the start of the 2026 fiscal year — is backed by President Trump.

Under the measure, defense spending will get a $6 billion boost from fiscal year 2024, but non-defense discretionary spending will fall $13 billion beneath the previous fiscal year.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is also getting a slight boost to nearly $10 billion, up from the previous year’s spending level, to carry out Trump’s mass deportations.

Senate Democrats struggled to unify on how to vote for a House-passed continuing resolution despite Schumer’s initial opposition.
