Dems spotlight anti-weaponization fund as US Senate GOP struggles to pass immigration bill

Senate Democrats and police officers who responded to the Jan. 6 insurrection opposed the Trump administration's $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund at a press conference. The fund, announced by the Department of Justice as part of a settlement with Trump's IRS lawsuit, is criticized as a 'slush fund' by Democrats, who plan to propose amendments to restrict it if Senate Republicans advance their immigration bill.
