Justice Department tables Trump fund and unsticks immigration bill
The Justice Department stated it would comply with a court ruling blocking the Trump administration's $1.8 billion fund for government-victim claimants, potentially affecting the $70 billion immigration enforcement bill. Senate Democrats plan amendments targeting the fund, which Republicans may no longer need to oppose if the administration withdraws it. Senate Majority Leader John Thune suggested the administration could resolve the issue by ending the fund.
