The package covers five spending bills negotiated on a bipartisan, bicameral basis and represents most of the remaining FY2026 budget. The Senate removed a separate Department of Homeland Security bill and opened a two-week stopgap, allowing the included projects to move forward while Congress continues to negotiate guardrails on ICE. Cantwell helped secure $75,178,000 for projects in 18 counties across the state.
