Senate Moves to Fund Immigration Agencies via Reconciliation Amid DOJ Fight

Senate Republicans plan to advance a $72 billion budget reconciliation package to fund DHS immigration agencies through fiscal year 2029, despite controversy over the Justice Department's proposed anti-weaponization fund. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche testified that the fund is not moving forward, but GOP leaders say they have enough support to proceed as soon as Wednesday, though some Republicans remain skeptical and provisions such as a Secret Service upgrade are expected to be dropped.
