US Senate passes ICE funding resolution after ‘vote-a-rama’: What’s next?

Senate Republicans have passed a resolution to fund US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), using a tactic that allowed them to proceed with a simple majority. Fifty Republicans voted in favour, while two broke ranks and joined Democrats in voting against the resolution. The resolution is the first step in ending a months-long standoff over funding, but the Republican-controlled US House of Representatives must also pass its own resolution.
