The U.S. Senate early Friday passed a $70 billion bill to fund President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol, for the next three years. The 52-47 vote followed an all-night session dominated by partisan clashes over a separate $1.776 billion settlement fund linked to Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS over leaked tax returns. Lawmakers from both parties objected that the fund could benefit Trump supporters involved in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack. Multiple amendments to block or redirect the settlement money failed. The measure now moves to the House, expected to consider it next week.
