A Department of Justice attorney has stated in a court filing that the Trump administration's proposed "Anti-Weaponization Fund" will not be established. The attorney indicated that the fund has not been set up and is now officially not going forward. This development follows the Senate's passage of a $69.5 billion immigration enforcement funding package, which included language preventing the establishment of this specific fund. Despite some Republican opposition to the broader bill over this restriction, the amendment to eliminate the fund was rejected, effectively blocking its creation.
