US Senate GOP punts immigration bill amid big split with Trump over settlement fund

The US Senate GOP delayed an immigration bill due to disagreements with President Donald Trump over his proposed $1.776 billion 'anti-weaponization' fund. Senate Republicans, meeting with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, sought restrictions on the fund as a condition for passing a $72 billion package for Homeland Security and Justice. The Senate, split 53-47, faces a June 1 deadline to finalize the bill.
