Senate Prepares for Key Votes on Federal Immigration Bill

The Senate is scheduled to vote on Thursday regarding a bill that will finance federal immigration enforcement agencies over the coming three years. This decision follows an unusual rebellion by Republican senators last month, which postponed the bill’s progression.

Prior to this vote, senators are expected to address several amendments. These amendments aim to prevent the Trump administration’s plan to establish a $1.8 billion fund. This fund is intended to compensate individuals who claim wrongful prosecution or investigation.

Sen. Thom Tillis, a Republican from North Carolina, was seen heading to the Senate chamber on Capitol Hill in Washington on Tuesday, as captured in a photograph by J. Scott Applewhite of the Associated Press.
