Senate Passes Budget That Will Fund Trump's Mass Deportation Agenda

In an overnight vote culminating Friday morning, Senate republicans passed Trump's $340 billion budget spending bill that will help fund his mass deportation agenda, along with his plans for energy production and the military.

The 52-48 vote passed along party lines, coming in just after 5 a.m. on Friday following a 10-hour "vote-a-rama" in which senators voted on 33 amendments.

Senator Rand Paul (R-Ky.) was the only republican who voted against the bill—all democrats voted against.

The bill will reserve $175 billion for border security, which comes following comments from Trump's Border Czar Tom Homan that there previously weren't sufficient funds to complete his proposed operation, which included building a border wall between the U.S and Mexico.

"Without this bill passing...there is no hope of getting money for the border," said Senate Budget Committee Chair Lindsey Graham (R-SC.).

The bill also allocates $150 billion to the Pentagon.

Now, the House will create its own spending bill, which Trump has pushed to be "one big beautiful bill." The House plans to add tax cuts and raise debt ceilings to its bill.

The Senate bill will essentially act as a "plan b" if the House is unable to pass its bill.

"To my House colleagues: We will all get there together. If you can pass the one big, beautiful bill that makes the tax cuts permanent — not four or five years — then we'll all cheer over here. Nothing would please me more than Speaker [Mike] Johnson being able to put together the bill that President Trump wants," Graham said on Thursday.

"I want that to happen, but I cannot sit on the sidelines and not have a plan B," he added.
