米連邦議会の共和党議員らは、移民法執行機関の今後3年間の予算案を可決しないまま、1週間の休会に入りワシントンを後にした。この計画は、約20億ドルの「反武器化基金（Anti-Weaponization Fund）」やその他の要求をめぐり、トランプ大統領との意見の相違が生じたことで停滞した。議員らは6月1日の期限までワシントンに戻る予定はない。
共和党は、予算調整措置を用いて、トランプ大統領の任期終了までの米移民税関捜査局（ICE）および国境警備局の予算として720億ドルを承認することを目指していた。この措置は、先日の政府機関閉鎖を経て、両機関を政治的な争いから切り離すことを意図していた。しかし、党内の意見対立により、休会前の採決は実現しなかった。
X（旧Twitter）上では、18億ドルの「反武器化基金」や関連支出をめぐる共和党とトランプ大統領の意見対立によりICEの予算案が停滞したことについて議論が交わされた。ユーザーは6月1日の期限が守られなかったことや休会入りしたことに言及し、同基金を「裏金（スラッシュ・ファンド）」と批判する声や、その目的に対する懐疑論、共和党内の緊張関係を指摘する反応が見られた。

Senate Republicans fled town for the Memorial Holiday to avoid moving forward on Trump's $1 billion White House ballroom after his controversial “anti-weaponization” fund was put in place.

Senate Republicans just walked out of DC without funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") because Trump's DOJ set up a $1.8 billion "Anti-Weaponization Fund" out of his own settlement with his own IRS.

The $72 billion ICE and Border Patrol reconciliation package is…
A nearly $1.8bn “Anti-Weaponization Fund” sounds noble until you read the mechanism: taxpayer money, Trump grievance claims, and a commission appointed by his own acting AG.

Senate Republicans left Washington for Memorial Day recess Thursday without passing the $72 billion bill that would fund ICE and Border Patrol—risking President Trump's June 1 deadline for the legislation.

House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced a deal on Wednesday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security through September, while securing three years of funding for ICE and Border Patrol separately via budget reconciliation. The move, backed by President Trump, aims to bypass Democratic votes and end the record 47-day shutdown. Congress could act as early as Thursday despite being on recess.
The US Senate has approved a Republican budget resolution to fund immigration enforcement agencies with about $70 billion through President Trump's term, using the reconciliation process to bypass Democratic support. The measure passed 50-48 after an overnight vote-a-rama, with two GOP senators joining Democrats in opposition. It now moves to the House of Representatives.

The Senate passed a bipartisan bill early Friday to fund most Department of Homeland Security operations except ICE and Border Patrol, but House Republicans signaled they will reject it. President Donald Trump signed an executive order the same day to pay TSA agents affected by the ongoing partial shutdown. The move came as airport security lines lengthened due to unpaid workers calling out or quitting.
A partial government shutdown affecting agencies like TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA continues as Senate Democrats block a House-passed bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy questioned Democrats' priorities following a synagogue attack in Michigan, while former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg acknowledged existing ICE funding. Senate votes have failed to advance the bill, highlighting partisan divides over immigration enforcement.

A government shutdown affecting the Department of Homeland Security has led to hundreds of TSA workers quitting and longer airport lines, amid stalled negotiations in the Senate. Senator John Fetterman, the sole Democrat supporting current funding, criticized the impasse for punishing frontline workers without affecting immigration enforcement. A test vote to fund the department failed 51-46 on Thursday.
