Chapter 2: What recent legislation did the Senate pass regarding ICE and Border Patrol?
After a marathon 18-hour vote, the Senate passed legislation to fund ICE and Border Patrol until the end of President Trump's term. NPR's Sam Greenglass reports there's always been a small camp of Republicans willing to criticize the president.
Retiring Republican Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina also said the fund was a political liability.
