Republicans consider next steps after scrapping of $1.8 billion fund for Trump allies
Senate Republicans are assessing whether the Trump administration's cancellation of a $1.8 billion fund for politically prosecuted allies eases concerns about advancing immigration legislation. Democrats aim to permanently block the fund, which was paused by the Justice Department and dropped by acting Attorney General Todd Blanche. The immigration bill, stalled by Republican objections, faces uncertainty as lawmakers await clarity on the fund's fate.
