Senate advances stalled immigration enforcement funding bill

The Senate has moved forward with a long-delayed bill to fund immigration enforcement agencies, voting 53-46 to begin discussions on the funding package. This comes after Republicans had previously opposed the White House’s $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization fund.” The vote signals a significant step toward resolving a standoff that has stalled the process for weeks. This development is crucial as it directly impacts the administration's ability to enforce immigration laws and could set a precedent for future funding debates in Congress.
