US Senate approves $70 bn for Trump immigration crackdown

The U.S. Senate on Friday approved $70 billion in funding for Donald Trump's hardline immigration crackdown, handing the president a major victory on one of his signature issues after months of bitter fighting over deportations and border enforcement.

The bill, which would fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol through the rest of Trump's term, now heads to the House of Representatives, where Republican leaders are hopeful that they can move early next week to send it to Trump's desk.
