Senate Fails to Pass Immigration Bills Following Trump Veto Threat

The series of votes came after Trump slammed the leading bipartisan proposal as “a total catastrophe,” and the White House threatened to veto the bill, which had been considered the most likely to get through a deeply divided Senate.
