New York, NY—Today, the United States Senate narrowly passed Donald Trump’s reconciliation bill in a 51-50 vote, advancing the legislation to the House of Representatives. If approved there, it will move forward to Trump’s desk for his signature. The Senate’s bill would allocate more than $150 billion for immigration enforcement, including nearly $30 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to seize and deport immigrants, and more than $50 billion for Customs and Border Protection to build the southern border wall, supercharging Trump’s mass deportation agenda.
