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.

U.S. Senate Democrats provided the votes on Friday to advance a bill requiring authorities to detain migrants who entered the country illegally if they are suspected of theft, days before President-elect Donald Trump returns to power.

The Senate voted to move forward with the Laken Riley Act, which would require authorities to detain undocumented immigrants arrested for theft-related and other offenses.

Ten Democrats joined Republicans in voting to advance the measure in a critical test vote that put it on track for quick enactment under President-elect Donald J. Trump.
