Senate Vote-a-Rama Advances Immigration Funding Amid Democratic Opposition

Senate Republicans are conducting a Vote-a-Rama to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol while reopening the Department of Homeland Security, which has been shut down for over two months.
The budget resolution proposes around $70 billion in funding for ICE and Border Patrol, aiming to bypass Democratic reforms through budget reconciliation.
Democrats plan to introduce amendments to lower living costs, contrasting their priorities with Republicans' focus on immigration enforcement.
