Summary
$69.5 billion in funding for ICE and Customs and Border Protection cleared the Senate, ending months of wrangling over how to finance the agencies for more than three years.
The bill passed 52-47 after a marathon overnight vote in which Democrats forced Republicans to take politically difficult amendment votes.
Lisa Murkowski was the only Republican to oppose the measure, underscoring otherwise solid GOP support for the immigration enforcement package.
The legislation now heads to the House, where Republicans are expected to take it up next week as part of a broader push to lock in enforcement funding.
