Senate GOP defeats first attempt to kill DOJ payout fund

Senate Republicans defeated a Democratic attempt to remove language supporting President Donald Trump's 'Anti-Weaponization Fund' from an immigration enforcement bill. The 50-49 vote rejected a motion by Chuck Schumer to send the bill back for revisions, with three GOP senators voting against their party. Multiple amendments targeting the fund are expected during extended Senate negotiations.
