Summary
The U.S. Senate passed a $70 billion funding package for ICE and Border Patrol agencies, supporting the Trump administration's deportation efforts. The bill advanced through a "vote-a-rama" session, with Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer attempting to block the "anti-weaponization" fund (which Democrats criticized as a "slush fund" for Trump allies). Schumer's motion failed after Republican Senators Susan Collins, Jon Husted, and Dan Sullivan voted against it, leading to a procedural halt.
