Republicans in Congress are holding a bill to fund ICE operations hostage in a mutiny over Donald Trump’s $1.8 billion vengeance fund.
After a stormy lunchtime meeting with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on Thursday, GOP senators were heading home for the Memorial Day recess without voting on a key $70 billion immigration enforcement package.
A House vote on the same budget plan is also likely to be shelved until June, after Speaker Mike Johnson’s planned White House meeting with Trump was axed.
