Senate Backs $70 Billion Immigration Push in Win for Trump

Washington- The U.S. Senate on Friday approved $70 billion in funding for President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda, marking a significant legislative victory for the administration’s border and deportation policies.

The measure would provide funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Border Patrol through the remainder of Trump’s current term in office.

The legislation now moves to the House of Representatives, where Republican leaders are aiming for swift passage as early as next week before sending the bill to the president for his signature.

The funding package comes after months of political battles in Washington over immigration enforcement, deportations and border security, issues that have remained central to Trump’s domestic policy agenda.
