The Senate has passed a bill that would require federal authorities to detain migrants accused of theft and violent crimes

WASHINGTON ― The Senate on Monday passed a bill that would require the detention of migrants accused of theft and violent crimes, as well as grant power to states to challenge federal immigration policies ― a big win for newly sworn-in president Donald Trump.

Twelve Senate Democrats voted with Republicans on Monday to pass a bill on immigration, a topic that has faced congressional gridlock for years, to address one of President Donald Trump’s top campaign issues just hours after he was sworn in for a second term.
