Officers were trying to apprehend him in Savannah when he “fled the scene, making a reckless U-turn and running a red light, colliding into a civilian vehicle,” according to a statement by the agency.

But Ms. Riedl said she did not expect the political dynamics to change considerably, setting up what may be another round of fierce bickering that could once again risk a prolonged shutdown.

The restrictions aim to make it harder for the president to interrupt funds that lawmakers have appropriated.

Many of Mr. Trump’s actions, targeting a wide array of funds into the billions of dollars, remain the subject of hundreds of unresolved lawsuits, and several recent federal investigations have found evidence of illegality.

In doing so, Mr. Trump has publicly promised to seek another substantial increase in military spending, with the goal of securing $1.5 trillion in the 2027 fiscal year.

Jessica Riedl, a budget and tax fellow at the Brookings Institution, said the White House entered that new fight in a more experienced way, with “another year under its belt to broaden its analysis of the federal budget and where to cut.”

Senator Patty Murray of Washington, who leads Democrats on the chamber’s Appropriations Committee, described it as an attempt to “reassert” authorities afforded to Congress by the

Last week, a federal judge temporarily blocked the administration from proceeding.

White House officials have also telegraphed that they intend to reprise their push for steep spending reductions in the budget due this spring.

Mr. Trump chased sharp reductions in federal research across the government this fiscal year.

Some Republican leaders had even engaged in rare, open criticism of the White House when it unilaterally tried to hold up billions in research grants last year, before Congress could consider such cuts.

The choices generally reflected a “disconnect” between the president’s political agenda and the typical “bipartisan process on the Hill that surrounds the appropriations process.”

Lawmakers jettisoned some of Mr. Trump’s most significant attempts to whittle down antipoverty programs, particularly federal housing assistance.

Officials said they still believe that they can proceed with their attempts to dissolve the department and relocate its staff this year, arguing that the new funding legislation did not explicitly prevent them from doing so.

Mr. Trump took his first steps to try to dismantle the Education Department, where he and his aides froze funds and either fired or reassigned staff members without congressional approval.

The changes broke with a long-running tradition in Washington to treat defense and domestic spending with parity.

The administration sees the changes as one of its signature victories.

Mr. Trump still prevailed in other ways, most notably in his efforts to scale back the size and reach of government by ousting thousands of federal workers.

The White House must send Congress a budget by the first Monday in February by law.

The administration is expected to release its latest blueprint for the 2027 fiscal year as soon as next month.
