Senate Formally Misses Trump's June 1 Signing Deadline for $71.7B ICE/CBP Reconciliation Package; Delaney Hall Protesters Defy Curfew
President Trump's self-imposed June 1, 2026 signing deadline for the $71.7 billion ICE/CBP reconciliation package — the largest single-year immigration enforcement investment in U.S. history — was formally missed as the Senate did not schedule a floor vote despite reconvening May 28 after the Memorial Day recess. The bill had cleared the Senate Budget Committee 11-10 on May 20 and had passed the House 215-211 on April 30 with zero Democratic support, but procedural disputes and Byrd Rule challenges prevented Senate action. The two provisions most contested: a $1.776 billion DOJ 'anti-weaponization fund' and a $1 billion White House ballroom security line, both previously struck by the Senate Parliamentarian as Byrd Rule violations. As of June 1, only Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) were publicly identified as Republican holdouts. The package would fund 100,000+ detention beds, deportation flight expansion, CBP staffing increases, and border wall construction — with no mandatory oversight provisions, no minimum medical care standards, and no use-of-force accountability measures despite 30+ FY2026 custody deaths. A Senate floor vote was still expected during the week of June 1. Separately, at Delaney Hall in Newark, protesters defied the overnight curfew imposed by Mayor Baraka for a second consecutive night; CBS News reported the curfew was later lifted following renewed clashes. RedState reported on June 1 that protesters 'ignored' the curfew order, with additional arrests made.
