Senate Republicans are postponing consideration of their filibuster-proof immigration enforcement funding bill until June after it got snagged in a political debate over the Trump administration\u2019s $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund.<\/p>\n

The bill includes $1.5 billion in funding for the Department of Justice, which creates a jurisdictional lane for Democrats to offer amendments targeting the Anti-Weaponization Fund at a simple-majority threshold.<\/p>\n

Those amendments would likely draw enough GOP support to be adopted and could derail the entire bill.<\/p>\n

Republicans want to develop their own proposal to address concerns about the fund rather than let Democrats dictate the legislative solution.<\/p>\n

But they could not reach consensus Thursday on a solution.<\/p>\n

They plan to work on the matter over the recess and could add a provision to the filibuster-proof budget reconciliation package.<\/p>\n

The Anti-Weaponization Fund was established as part of a settlement Mr. Trump reached with the Justice Department after he sued the IRS for $10 billion over the unauthorized leak of his tax returns during his first term.<\/p>\n

The goal of the fund is to provide settlement payments to people who have legitimate claims of overzealous prosecution or other government weaponization.<\/p>\n

Mr. Trump has said he wants to help other Republicans who were targeted by the Biden administration, but the fund is technically open to anyone from either party with a weaponization claim.<\/p>\n

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche met with Senate Republicans at the Capitol on Thursday to answer their questions about the fund.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, our members have very legitimate questions about it,\u201d Senate Majority Leader John Thune, South Dakota Republican, told reporters ahead of the meeting.<\/p>\n

He said Republicans need to discuss \u201chow we might make sure that it\u2019s fenced in appropriately.\u201d<\/p>\n
