Senate Passes $70 Billion Immigration Funding Bill
· Texas Border Business
The Senate passed a $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill early Friday, aimed at supporting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Border Patrol for the remainder of President Donald Trump's term. The bill was approved with a vote of 52-47 and will now move to the House, which is anticipated to address it next week. This vote followed weeks of delays and discussions over a separate $1.776 billion settlement fund related to a legal agreement involving Trump. Several amendments to block or redirect the funding were rejected before the bill's passage.
