The US Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill in an overnight session, funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol through the end of Trump's term.
A pre-dawn vote
The legislation cleared the chamber 52-47 just before 5 a.m. on Friday, June 5, after a marathon "vote-a-rama." Passage came despite intense bipartisan backlash over a $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund tied to the president's allies.
Republican rifts
Republicans narrowly defeated multiple attempts — from both parties — to add language permanently banning the settlement fund. While a win for the GOP, the overnight session exposed rifts within their ranks before the bill advanced to the House and on to the president.
