Senate begins all-night vote-a-rama on ICE, Border Patrol funding through Trump term

Analysis
The $70B ICE-and-Border-Patrol funding vehicle has entered vote-a-rama, corroborated across CBS and NYT, forcing resolution on Republican terms and bypassing the Democratic leverage that had kept reconciliation-track negotiations deadlocked. The Save America Act addition is the Trump loyalty test embedded in the package. Four Republicans voted against attaching it, yet the bill advances on party-line procedural motions. Collins, Sullivan, and Hawley's willingness to break on SNAP and insurance-denial amendments while holding the core package signals the bill clears before dawn, though in a form requiring House reconciliation. That April 21 blueprint has reached live-vote stage six days ahead of the month-end timeline Republicans had signaled. Passage with Save America Act provisions before April 27 is likely, contingent on the package remaining on the live floor rather than reverting to procedural limbo.
