The Senate voted 52 to 47 in favor of the legislative package, Deutsche Welle reports. The funds are intended to finance immigration enforcement agencies for three years – through the end of Donald Trump’s term.

The bill still needs to pass the House of Representatives. A vote there is expected next week.
