Senate Passes Border Crackdown Bill

“The Senate on Monday approved a bill that would mandate detentions and potential deportations for undocumented migrants charged with certain crimes, setting it on a glide path to clear Congress this week and be signed by President Trump,” the New York Times reports.

“In a vote of 64 to 35 just hours after Mr. Trump was sworn in, 12 Democrats joined Republicans to approve the bill, reflecting a growing bipartisan consensus around clamping down on those who have entered the country without authorization.”
