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 U.S. Senate Democrats provided the votes needed on Friday to advance a bill requiring authorities to detain migrants who entered the country illegally if they are suspected of theft.

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.
