ICE funding package

Senate Republicans seek confirmation from the Trump administration that a controversial $2 billion fund will not be revived, as part of efforts to secure a multibillion-dollar immigration enforcement funding package. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the administration is not moving forward with the fund, which was tied to a Trump family IRS settlement and raised concerns about potential misuse by individuals involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Senate Republicans seek confirmation from the Trump administration that a controversial $2 billion fund, announced as part of a Trump family settlement with the IRS, will not be implemented. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated the administration is not moving forward with the fund, but some GOP lawmakers demand stronger assurances or legislative measures to ensure its permanent elimination before advancing a multibillion-dollar ICE funding package.

Senate Republicans demand the Trump administration eliminate a stalled $2 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund before proceeding with a multibillion-dollar immigration enforcement funding package. The Department of Justice stated it will comply with a court order halting the fund, but Republicans argue this does not resolve their concerns about the fund's future or the stalled immigration funding reconciliation process.
