The U.S. Senate passed a bill on the 5th to provide an additional $70 billion to the Department of Homeland Security for immigration enforcement. The bill has been sent to the House of Representatives for final consideration, marking a significant victory for President Trump. The bill passed 52-47 in the Republican-leaning Senate, with all Democrats opposing. It does not include a provision to ban an $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund, which was originally intended to compensate those claiming unfair treatment by the U.S. government but is criticized as potentially benefiting Trump's political allies. The funds will cover costs related to deportation operations over the next three years. House Republican leaders aim to vote on it next week before sending it to Trump for signature.
