The bill, which funds ICE for the remainder of Trump's term, now goes to the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, where it is expected to pass next week.

The Senate is also controlled by Republicans, but several centrist members there opposed other parts of the budget compromise. These included security costs for the White House ballroom that Trump is building, which are not included in the final text, and a criticized billion-dollar fund for Trump supporters.

ICE's budget has been on hold this spring after high-profile shootings in Minneapolis. Democrats have conditioned budget support on changes in ICE tactics.
