Thune says DOJ fund will need changes to unlock immigration bill
Senate Majority Leader John Thune stated the GOP's immigration enforcement bill will likely not proceed until changes to the Justice Department's $1.8 billion 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' are secured. Discussions with the Trump administration are ongoing, but Senate GOP leaders delayed the bill after Republican members objected to the fund, with several likely to restrict or block it.
