Senators brokered an agreement late Thursday on a detainee provision in the current defense authorization bill that paved the way for its passage.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) offered the compromise amendment that would change nothing in current law for the detention of U.S. citizens, lawful resident aliens or anyone captured or arrested in the U.S.

The amendment passed 99-1.
