What it does

Senate vehicle for the Laken Riley detention-mandate package that moved in tandem with H.R. 29.

Why it matters

Shows how House and Senate vehicles can race each other under the same political banner while the enacted text is what binds agencies.

Progressive take

Track the enrolled text and implementing memos. Chamber branding wars are noise; detention criteria and judicial review are the signal.
