Trump admin backs off controversial $2B fund, clearing path for stalled GOP immigration bill
The Department of Justice paused the Trump administration's 'anti-weaponization' fund following a Virginia federal court order, potentially enabling Senate Republicans to advance a $72 billion immigration enforcement funding package. The DOJ expressed disagreement with the court's decision but stated it will comply, removing a political obstacle for the GOP's legislative efforts.
