Donald Trump’s $70 billion immigration enforcement bill survived an all-night Republican revolt to clear the Senate early Friday.
The chamber passed the measure 52-47 and sent it to the House, which is expected to act quickly. The package funds the Department of Homeland Security’s ICE and CBP agencies until the end of Trump’s second term, shielding both from future shutdowns.
The mutiny, which Republicans eventually succeeded in quelling, centered on a $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund” Trump has tried to set up for political allies claiming unjust prosecution under the Biden administration. Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski remained the lone GOP member to cross the aisle and vote “no” on the final round.
