DOJ statement on Trump fund not enough to unstick funding bill
The Justice Department's commitment to following a temporary order blocking President Donald Trump’s 'anti-weaponization' fund is seen as a first step but not sufficient to secure Republican support for an immigration enforcement funding bill. GOP senators expressed skepticism, emphasizing the need for Trump to abandon the fund for the bill to pass.
