The Senate is expected to launch into a voting blitz on Thursday as it moves toward passing a budget reconciliation package that would fund immigration enforcement agencies.

A party-line vote kicked off hours of debate, followed by a series of unlimited back-to-back amendment votes before final passage later this week. The chamber on Wednesday revealed it had stripped language providing up to $1 billion for security upgrades to the proposed White House ballroom from the revised budget bill.

The Supreme Court issued three opinions, as it enters the final month of its term. It did not address any of the outstanding blockbuster rulings.
