The US Senate is set to vote on a bill that would impose stricter penalties on undocumented migrants accused of crimes. The legislation aims to require the federal government to detain migrants living in the US illegally, potentially leading to increased deportations. This move is part of a broader effort to reform immigration policies and enforce border security. With the bill's expected advancement, lawmakers are weighing the potential impact on migrant communities and the country's immigration system as a whole, sparking debates on immigration reform and enforcement. The vote comes amid ongoing discussions on border control and migrant rights.
