What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Drain ICE Act of 2026," aims to amend the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (Public Law 119-21). The primary purpose is to remove funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). To achieve this, the bill repeals specific sections of the previous Act. Additionally, it calls for the rescission of all unobligated balances previously appropriated under those sections.
