Twelve Senate Democrats voted with Republicans on Monday to pass a bill on immigration, a topic that has faced congressional gridlock for years, to address one of President Donald Trump’s top campaign issues just hours after he was sworn in for a second term.

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 GOP-led bill, which got some Democratic support, will head back to the House for approval before it goes to Trump for his signature.

A GOP-led bill to require the detention of undocumented migrants charged with certain crimes is on the verge of passage in the Senate after a significant number of Democrats joined with Republicans to advance the measure in a critical vote on Friday.

This legislation is the most significant immigration enforcement and border security related bill to pass the Senate in nearly three decades.
