Senate Votes on Immigration and Surveillance Bills in Early Morning Sessions
The Senate held multiple votes on Friday morning involving immigration funding and FISA surveillance powers, with mixed results.

The U.S. Senate conducted several significant votes during an early morning session on Friday, addressing both immigration enforcement funding and surveillance authorities.
According to multiple reports, senators voted on legislation related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Department of Homeland Security funding. The Guardian reported a 52-47 vote on what it described as immigration enforcement funding, while Bloomberg referenced an immigration bill involving $1.8 billion in disputed funding.
Separately, the Senate addressed the extension of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) authorities. The Hill reported that six Republican senators joined Democrats in a 47-52 procedural vote that failed to advance the FISA extension. The Republicans voting against advancement included Senators Josh Hawley of Missouri, Mike Lee of Utah, Rand Paul of Kentucky, and Eric Schmitt of Missouri.
The New York Times linked Democratic opposition to the FISA measure to President Trump's nomination of Bill Pulte to head intelligence operations, though this connection was not confirmed by other sources.
The votes occurred during what sources described as a marathon overnight session, with The Guardian noting the final vote took place around 5 a.m. The FISA surveillance authorities are set to expire next week, adding urgency to the legislative process.
The House of Representatives has yet to vote on the immigration-related measure, according to The Guardian's reporting.
