Fortunately the dems can filibuster that in the senate indefinitely

Dems don't filibuster, don't be delusional. This bill included so much funding for Trump's Gestapo is basically this act. ICE is already a completely unaccountable, militarized force, directly at his command. Now they basically have a blank check.
