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.

Several Senate Democrats from swing states joined with Republicans Friday to clear the final hurdle to passing the Laken Riley Act, which would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain noncitizens who commit certain crimes.

The U.S. Senate Friday voted to advance a bill that would expand mass detention for immigrants charged or arrested for property 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,
