In a 64-35 vote, the Senate passed an immigration bill that mandates the detention of undocumented individuals accused of theft or burglary. The measure is now headed to the House, where it is expected to pass, probably becoming the first piece of legislation President Donald Trump signs into law.

The measure's bipartisan approval reflects broad support for cracking down on crime perpetrated by illegal immigrants.

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.

Deporting millions of migrants or enforcing the Laken Riley Act will largely depend on Congress' ability to allocate roughly $100 billion.

The GOP-led bill, which received some Democratic support, will now head back to the House for approval before it goes to Trump for a signature.

An amended version of the Laken Riley Act passed through the Senate Monday night with bipartisan support in a vote of 64 to 35.

If passed, it would require the Department of Homeland Security to detain immigrants without legal status accused of theft, burglary, and other crimes.

The Senate is heading toward a final vote on legislation that would give states the power to challenge federal immigration policies and require federal authorities to detain migrants accused of theft and violent crimes,

The Senate approved a bill known as the Laken Riley Act, which is aimed at expanding the federal government's mandate to detain immigrants who are in the country illegally.

The long-pushed Laken Riley Act could be one of the first bills to hit President Trump's desk in his new term.
