Kongressens republikaner lämnar Washington för ett veckolångt uppehåll utan att ha röstat igenom ett lagförslag om att finansiera migrationsmyndigheten i tre år. Planen körde fast på grund av oenighet med president Trump rörande en fond mot vapenisering på närmare 2 miljarder dollar samt andra krav. Lagstiftarna återvänder inte förrän efter tidsfristen den 1 juni.

Republikanerna hade som mål att godkänna 72 miljarder dollar till Immigration and Customs Enforcement och gränspolisen fram till slutet av Trumps mandatperiod genom budgetjusteringar. Åtgärden var avsedd att hålla myndigheterna utanför politiska konflikter efter en tidigare nedstängning. Interna splittringar inom partiet förhindrade dock en omröstning före uppehållet.
