Republicans recoil as Trump's billion-dollar DOJ 'slush fund' for allies threatens ICE, Border Patrol plan

Senate Republicans are criticizing Trump's nearly $1.8 billion DOJ 'anti-weaponization' fund created through a settlement with the IRS, expressing concerns that Capitol Hill rioters and others could potentially access taxpayer dollars. The fund is complicating efforts to pass a multibillion-dollar immigration funding package and a separate request for ballroom security funding. GOP lawmakers are questioning the fund's legitimacy and calling for congressional oversight.
