Providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3838) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2026 for military activities of the Department of Defense, for military construction, and for defense activities of the Department of Energy, to prescribe military personnel strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes, and providing for consideration of the bill (H.R. 3486) to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to increase penalties for individuals who illegally enter and reenter the United States after being removed, and for other purposes.

What this bill does

  • This resolution allows the House to consider two bills: one authorizing defense spending for fiscal 2026, and another increasing penalties for illegal reentry.
  • The defense bill affects the Department of Defense, military personnel, and the Department of Energy; the immigration bill affects people who reenter after removal.
  • The bills would appropriate funds for military activities and construction, set personnel levels, and modify immigration penalties if passed.
