The US Senate passed legislation to fund Donald Trump’s controversial immigration crackdown early on Friday morning, ending a partial government shutdown that has lingered since February.

The 52-47 vote on funding for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) passed with no Democratic support at 5am, after a marathon session of votes to knock down proposed amendments.
