                                 A BILL


 
 To amend an Act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of 
Public Law 119-21 (commonly referred to as the ``One Big Beautiful Bill 
 Act'') to remove funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Drain ICE Act of 2026''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The United States has a responsibility to administer 
        its immigration system in a manner that upholds constitutional 
        protections, human rights, and fundamental dignity.
            (2) The Trump Administration's indiscriminate mass 
        deportation policies are in conflict with our Nation's 
        cherished values and the rule of law.
            (3) There have been detailed and numerous reports of cruel 
        and inhumane conditions at U.S. Immigration and Customs 
        Enforcement (ICE) Detention Facilities across the country.
            (4) Oversight entities, civil-society organizations, media, 
        and government watchdogs have documented significant concerns 
        regarding the Department of Homeland Security's immigration 
        enforcement practices, including the use of prolonged 
        detention, inadequate conditions in detention facilities, and 
        insufficient safeguards for asylum seekers and refugees, other 
        vulnerable populations, families, and children.
            (5) ICE has unlawfully arrested and detained U.S. citizens, 
        green card holders, and other immigrants with legal status 
        under the Trump Administration.
            (6) Nearly half of the individuals in ICE custody as of 
        November, 2025, had no criminal charges or convictions.
            (7) Detention of individuals with no criminal record by ICE 
        has risen by over 2,000 percent under the Trump Administration.
            (8) Rapid expansion of detention spending has created 
        powerful financial incentives for private contractors and 
        detention facility operators--whose profit-driven models and 
        history of documented oversight deficiencies raise serious 
        concerns about accountability, waste, abuse, and rampant 
        corruption.
            (9) Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has redirected 
        capacity and resources away from critical missions, including 
        counterterrorism, counternarcotics, and human-trafficking 
        prevention in favor of disproportionally expanded immigration 
        enforcement activities.
            (10) According to a November 2025 Gallup poll, 62 percent 
        of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump's handling of 
        immigration.

SEC. 3. IN GENERAL.

    Sections 90003 and 100052 of Public Law 119-21 (commonly referred 
to as the ``One Big Beautiful Bill Act'') is repealed.

SEC. 4. IN GENERAL.

    The unobligated balances of all amounts appropriated by sections 
90003 and 100052 of Public Law 119-21 (commonly referred to as the 
``One Big Beautiful Bill Act'') are rescinded.
