Senate Republicans plow ahead with their immigration enforcement budget package that was derailed ahead of the Memorial Day recess over Trump’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.”

Some Republicans want to amend the bill to prohibit the Trump administration from setting up the $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund that could pay Jan. 6 rioters.
