Senate passes $70 billion immigration enforcement funding bill after vote-a-rama.
The Senate voted 52-47 early Friday morning to approve approximately $70 billion in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol through the end of President Trump's term. The bill passed via budget reconciliation after an hours-long amendment process during which multiple attempts to ban a controversial $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund were defeated.
