Trumps legislative losing streak continues, as his grip on Congress weakens

The U.S. Senate began a marathon series of amendment votes Thursday on a roughly $70 billion bill to fund ICE and the Border Patrol through 2029, with Democrats promising their first amendment would force a vote to eliminate Trump's $1.776 billion settlement fund.

The Senate voted 53-46 Wednesday to begin debate on the immigration enforcement bill, which Republicans are advancing through budget reconciliation, allowing passage with a simple majority rather than the 60 votes typically required to overcome a filibuster.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche told House lawmakers Tuesday that "we are not moving forward with the fund, period," but Trump later told reporters he was unsure whether the settlement was dead or on hold, saying "I'd have to ask the lawyers."

Sens. Thom Tillis and Bill Cassidy filed amendments to permanently block the settlement fund, with Tillis proposing to redirect $1.7 billion to Justice Department antifraud efforts and bar any processing or payment of claims tied to the agreement.

The immigration bill was delayed for weeks by two separate controversies: Republican opposition to a $1 billion provision for White House security including a new ballroom, and bipartisan backlash over the settlement fund, which was ultimately removed from the final bill.

ICE and Border Patrol have operated without regular funding since mid-February, after bipartisan negotiations over Democratic demands for policy changes — including better officer identification and greater use of judicial warrants — failed to produce an agreement.
