GOP demands Trump kill controversial $2B fund before reviving ICE funding package

Senate Republicans demand the Trump administration confirm the stalled $2 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund is dead before proceeding with a multibillion-dollar ICE funding package. The Department of Justice announced compliance with a court order against the fund, but Republicans argue this is insufficient, with some senators stating only the president can resolve the issue by eliminating the fund. Senate Republicans halted reconciliation efforts for the ICE and Border Patrol funding package amid internal disputes.
