Congressional Republicans are departing Washington for a weeklong recess without passing a bill to fund immigration enforcement for three years. The plan stalled over disagreements with President Trump regarding a nearly $2 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund and other demands. Lawmakers will not return until after the June 1 deadline.

Republicans had aimed to approve $72 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol through the end of Trump's term using budget reconciliation. The measure was intended to remove the agencies from political battles following an earlier shutdown. However, internal party divisions prevented a vote before the recess.

The delay comes amid internal GOP resistance and Democratic criticism of a new roughly $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” announced by the Justice Department as part of a settlement involving Trump’s lawsuit over leaked tax information.

Congress returns to Washington with lengthy to-do list

U.S. Congress members returned to Washington this week after a two-week recess, facing a packed agenda including a high-profile Democrat's scandal, an ongoing war with Iran, expiring spy powers, and a prolonged Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
