U.S. Senate Republicans abandoned plans to vote on an ICE funding bill on Thursday in an act of revolt over one of President Donald Trump's priorities: a $1.8 billion fund for victims of government "weaponization," including those convicted of crimes during the Capitol riot on January 6, 2021. The Senate walked away from a planned vote on a $72 billion bill funding Trump's massive migrant deportation program, delaying the vote at least until June, when lawmakers return from a Memorial Day holiday recess.
