It Is Happening Every Day, Every Where
Final approval by the House sent the legislation, which requires the detention and deportation of unauthorized migrants charged with crimes, to President Trump’s desk.
The measure, which increases deportations for undocumented migrants charged with crimes, is likely to be the first bill to reach President Trump’s desk. It must pass one more House vote to clear Congress.
Ten Democrats joined Republicans in voting to advance the measure in a critical test vote that put it on track for quick enactment under President-elect Donald J. Trump.
