Senate Debates Trump Settlement Limits
The Senate approved a $70 billion bill to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol for three years, through the end of Trump's term. The legislation faced delays and internal disagreements over a $1.776 billion settlement fund linked to Trump's lawsuit against the IRS, which many Republicans sought to block due to political concerns. Multiple amendments aimed at restricting or banning settlement payouts failed, with some GOP senators supporting provisions to redirect funds to law enforcement injured in the Capitol attack. The bill’s passage ends months of funding delays for ICE and Border Patrol, which have been stalled over policy disputes and debates about immigration enforcement practices.
