US Senate GOP punts immigration bill amid big split with Trump over settlement fund
Senate Republicans delayed an immigration bill amid disagreements with President Donald Trump over his proposed 'anti-weaponization' fund. The $1.776 billion fund, tied to a lawsuit settlement with the IRS, faces restrictions from senators, while a $72 billion funding package for Homeland Security and Justice remains stalled. Key issues include eligibility for financial relief for Jan. 6 riot defendants and a Secret Service security earmark.
