Congress
Senate plans first vote on immigration bill
Senate Republicans released updated text for their immigration enforcement bill Wednesday, officially dropping funding related to President Donald Trump’s ballroom project.
Republicans unveiled the legislative language shortly before they scheduled a first procedural vote to take up the measure around 2:30 p.m. Wednesday.
But GOP leaders are still facing pushback over the the Justice Department’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund,” with several GOP senators saying they would support amendments to nix it despite acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s assurances Tuesday that the administration would no longer pursue the effort.
