众议院议长迈克·约翰逊阐述了共和党对抗通胀高企、巩固边境安全的战略，批评民主党拒绝为移民海关执法局（ICE）和海关与边境保护局（CBP）等关键国土安全机构提供资金。
随着中期选举临近，国会回归后将面临迫在眉睫的截止日期、未完成的议事日程以及共和党内部的分裂。
议员们在阵亡将士纪念日假期前离开华盛顿时，原本即将通过一项大规模移民执法资金法案。若该法案得以通过，共和党本可以着手处理其他未完成的优先事项。
然而，共和党原本计划通过预算协调程序为移民海关执法局和边境巡逻队拨付约720亿美元资金，但在特朗普政府出人意料的举措导致共和党内部严重分裂后，该程序陷入停滞。
参议院共和党人因特朗普司法部“反武器化”基金爆发内讧，推迟ICE和边境巡逻资金表决

如今，预算协调程序遭遇的挫折可能进一步推迟其他关键议程事项，包括即将到来的关键间谍法重新授权截止日期、一项巨额国防政策法案以及一项可能聚焦经济负担问题的立法提案。
在司法部公布其近20亿美元的“反武器化”基金后，参议院目前在预算协调法案上陷入僵局。该基金旨在向那些认为自己受到政府不公对待的人发放赔偿。
参议院共和党人在与代理司法部长托德·布兰奇举行的闭门会议上就该基金爆发激烈争执，要求对方澄清，2021年1月6日骚乱期间袭击警察的定罪者是否有权获得这笔纳税人资助的资金。
自那以来，参议院共和党人与特朗普政府之间的立场并无改观，共和党人将处理该问题的责任推给了白宫。
“行政当局对上周的对话和反馈表示感谢，”一位白宫官员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们期待在必要时开展更多对话。”

众议院预计将在参议院通过该预算协调法案后对其进行表决。
但由于没有明确的前进路径，其他紧迫议题正开始挤占国会议事日程。
国会很快将不得不处理6月12日这一迫在眉睫的截止日期，完成《外国情报监控法》（FISA）第702条的重新授权。尽管特朗普政府推动无附加条件的延期，但两党议员都要求对该项目进行改革，目前这项斗争已经被推迟了两次。
这场间谍法斗争是国会少数能将民主党人与保守派凝聚在一起的议题之一，双方都推动加强隐私保护。尽管第702条允许政府监听境外外国公民，但该法律并未规定可以阻止政府收集被卷入这些通信的美国公民的数据。
据一位熟悉相关讨论的消息人士透露，众议院保守派正寻求改革，包括要求在监控美国公民通信时获取搜查令、封堵政府无需搜查令即可从数据经纪人处购买敏感数据的漏洞，以及限制过于宽泛的授权以减少附带收集的信息。

参议院的共和党隐私鹰派议员，包括犹他州参议员迈克·李和佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特，预计将在参议院推动类似的优先事项。
与此同时，众议院民主党人可能会推动一项投票，限制总统对伊朗的战争权力，该法案有望获得温和的共和党支持。上周，由于共和党议员出席率低迷，众议院共和党领导层搁置了一项战争权力投票。
民主党人还预计将触发一项投票，表决授权向乌克兰提供13亿美元军事援助并对俄罗斯战争行动实施新制裁的法案。由于预计会遭到共和党领导层和特朗普政府的反对，该法案要成为法律将面临重重困难。
众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（R-La.）也面临一众众议院共和党议员的压力，要求在中期选举前推进第三项预算协调法案。
得克萨斯州众议员奥古斯特·普弗吕格尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，共和党议员正在举行“卓有成效的会议”，他预计众议院共和党团将在7月底前通过另一项预算协调法案。
普弗吕格尔所在的共和党研究委员会一贯主张推出一项聚焦住房、能源和医疗保健领域经济负担问题的法案。参议院对第三项协调法案的热情则相对较低。

国会也在推进《国防授权法案》（NDAA），这项规模达1.15万亿美元的法案将为五角大楼提供资金。这是一项每年必须通过的关键立法，但可能会因国会山上更紧迫的斗争而推迟。
国会面临的几项悬而未决的问题，都伴随着中期选举前完成工作的时间越来越少。议员们将按惯例在8月休会，并且几乎整个10月都将休假用于竞选活动。
这意味着未来几周将至关重要，尤其是对共和党而言，他们正试图通过唐纳德·特朗普总统议程中任何未完成的部分。

Congress barrels toward deadline pile-up as GOP divisions threaten Trump agenda
FISA reauthorization, $1.15T defense bill and potential affordability package all face delays as time runs short
June 1, 2026 7:30am EDT / Fox News

House Speaker Mike Johnson outlines Republican strategies to combat rising inflation and secure the border, criticizing Democrats for refusing to fund critical Homeland Security agencies like ICE and CBP.
Congress returns facing looming deadlines, unfinished business and internal Republican divisions as the midterm elections draw closer.
Lawmakers left Washington ahead of Memorial Day on the cusp of passing a massive immigration enforcement funding package. Doing so would have allowed Republicans to tackle other outstanding priorities.
Instead, the budget reconciliation process — which Republicans planned to use to funnel roughly $72 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol — stalled after a surprise move by the Trump administration exposed deep divisions within the GOP.
SENATE GOP ERUPTS OVER TRUMP DOJ ‘ANTI-WEAPONIZATION’ FUND, PUNTS ICE, BORDER PATROL FUNDING

Now, the setback in the reconciliation process threatens to further push back other key agenda items, including the fast-approaching deadline to reauthorize a critical spy law, a colossal defense policy bill and a potential affordability-focused legislative package.
The Senate is currently stuck on the reconciliation package after the Department of Justice unveiled its nearly $2 billion “anti-weaponization” fund geared to provide payouts to those who feel wronged by the government.
Senate Republicans erupted over the fund during a closed-door meeting with acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, demanding answers on whether people convicted of assaulting police officers during the riots of Jan. 6, 2021, would be allowed to get access to the taxpayer-funded money.
Little has changed between the Senate GOP and administration since then, with Republicans putting the onus of dealing with the issue onto the White House.
“The administration appreciated last week’s conversation and feedback,” a White House official told Fox News Digital. “We look forward to additional conversations as needed.”

The House is expected to take up the budget reconciliation bill upon Senate passage.
But with no clear path forward, other pressing issues are beginning to crowd the congressional calendar.
Congress will soon have to address the looming June 12 deadline to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). It’s a fight that lawmakers have punted on twice now over bipartisan demands for reforms to the program, despite the Trump administration pushing for a clean reauthorization.
The spy law fight is one of the few horseshoe issues in Congress that blends Democrats and conservatives in a push for stronger privacy protections. While Section 702 allows the government to spy on foreign nationals abroad, there’s nothing in the law to prevent it from collecting data on Americans if they’re ensnared in those communications.
House conservatives are seeking reforms that would require warrants to surveil Americans’ communications, close loopholes allowing the government to buy sensitive data from brokers without a warrant, and curb overly broad authorities permitting the incidental collection of information, according to a source familiar with the discussions.

GOP privacy hawks in the Senate, including Sens. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rick Scott, R-Fla., are expected to push for similar priorities in the upper chamber.
Meanwhile, in the House, Democrats are likely to force a vote to rein in the president’s Iran war powers that could pass with modest GOP support. House GOP leadership shelved a war powers vote last week amid poor attendance from Republicans.
Democrats are also expected to trigger a vote on legislation authorizing $1.3 billion in military aid to Ukraine and levy new sanctions on the Russian war effort. The measure faces an uphill battle to become law due to expected opposition from Republican leadership and the Trump administration.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is also facing pressure from a swath of House Republicans to get the ball rolling on a third budget reconciliation package ahead of the midterm elections.
Rep. August Pfluger, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital that GOP lawmakers are having “great meetings” and he expects the conference to pass another budget reconciliation package by the end of July.
Pfluger’s Republican Study Committee has consistently advocated for a package focused on affordability issues across the housing, energy and healthcare sectors. Enthusiasm for a third reconciliation bill has been less pronounced in the Senate.

Congress is also beginning to make moves with the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the colossal package that would open up $1.15 trillion to fund the Pentagon. It’s an annual must-pass piece of legislation that could be slowed by the more pressing fights on the Hill.
Several lingering issues facing Congress come as time is dwindling to complete work before the midterm elections. Lawmakers will be gone for their typical August recess, but will also have almost the entirety of October off to campaign.
That means that the next few weeks will be crucial, particularly for Republicans, who are trying to pass any outstanding parts of President Donald Trump’s agenda.
