Senate Republicans manage to unstick immigration funding bill
Senate Republicans advanced a $70 billion immigration enforcement bill after delays, but face internal concerns over the 'Anti-Weaponization Fund.' The bill removed $1 billion in Secret Service funding linked to a White House project and stripped unrelated Justice Department funding to avoid restrictions on the fund. GOP leaders aim to pass the bill with 50 votes, though some senators remain interested in blocking the fund despite administration assurances.
