The Senate began its lengthy vote session on June 4 on a $70 billion bill to fund immigration enforcement.

The session, known as a vote-a-rama, was made possible after acting Attorney General Todd Blanche announced on June 2 that the Trump administration would abandon plans for a proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund for individuals claiming harm by the federal government.
