The bill preserves existing SNAP rules and reduces certain federal ICE expenditures—avoiding implementation costs and protecting current beneficiaries—at the cost of undoing potential SNAP expansions, reducing ICE enforcement resources, and creating short-term funding disruptions for programs and contractors.
Low-income households will keep the prior SNAP eligibility rules and benefits because the bill restores provisions of the earlier Food and Nutrition Act, preventing immediate loss of current SNAP access.
Taxpayers face lower federal outlays because the bill rescinds unobligated balances and cancels increased appropriations for ICE programs, reducing federal spending tied to those provisions.
State governments avoid implementation and administrative costs that would have been required to adopt the One Big Beautiful Bill's SNAP changes, reducing short-term burdens on state agencies.
Low-income households who would have benefited from proposed expansions or reforms to SNAP under the One Big Beautiful Bill lose those potential increases in benefits or eligibility.
Immigration enforcement capacity may be reduced because ICE will have less funding and fewer unobligated balances available for enforcement activities.
Rescinding previously available appropriations could create short-term disruption for programs or contractors that had planned around those funds, affecting state-administered programs and vendors.

Removes a recent ICE funding increase and rescinds unused funds, and reverses changes to SNAP by restoring prior law as if those changes never occurred.
Repeals recent provisions that increased funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and rescinds any unused funds provided for those increases, and restores prior law on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits by undoing a subtitle that changed SNAP rules. The effect is to remove the ICE funding increase and to reverse changes to SNAP so the law governing SNAP returns to what it was before those changes were made, effective upon enactment.
