In an all-night legislative marathon, senators engaged in a heated debate over a crucial USD 340 billion budget package that aligns with President Donald Trump's immigration agenda. The package, which focuses on mass deportations and border security measures, serves as a critical step in fulfilling top Republican priorities.

As Republican senators push forward to approve the funding, Democrats have used the opportunity to challenge the process with amendments aimed at exposing potential political vulnerabilities, such as blocking tax breaks for billionaires. Despite these efforts, Republicans continue to wield their majority power to secure a party-line vote for the budget.

The budget resolution serves as a framework for future legislation, paving the way for additional tax cuts and spending reductions. While the Senate pushes its package forward, the White House remains open to the strategy of addressing border security first, followed by tax cuts later this year.
