Senate Passes $70B Immigration Funding Plan

from The Daily News Now! Business

Senate Republicans approved a $70 billion funding plan for ICE and Border Patrol, aiming to end the ongoing government shutdown. Despite Democrat pushback for stricter rules, the plan was passed in a 50-48 vote. Democrats proposed amendments to cut healthcare costs, boost food aid, and ease price hikes, but all were shot down. A recent poll shows Americans oppose Trumps deportation push and are struggling with rising costs. The Senate also passed an amendment to speed deportations of illegal immigrants convicted of serious crimes. The plan now moves to the House for approval.
