All of Carter's living successors were in attendance, with President Joe Biden, the first sitting senator to endorse his 1976 run for the White House, delivering a eulogy. Biden and others took turns praising Carter's record — which many historians have appraised more favorably since losing his bid for a second term in 1980 — and extolling his character.

US Senate poised to vote on bill imposing new penalties on migrants accused of crimes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Senate on Thursday was expected to advance a bill to require the federal government to detain migrants living in the U.S. illegally who are suspected of criminal activity, even if they are not charged with crimes, as a growing number of Democrats voiced support for the Republican-backed measure. The legislation, named the "Laken Riley Act" after a Georgia college student who was murdered last year by a Venezuelan man previously arrested for shoplifting, passed the House of Representatives on Tuesday by a vote of 264-159, with 48 Democrats supporting the measure. The Senate vote comes just 11 days before the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump, who campaigned on a promise to crack down on illegal immigration and "migrant crime."
