Schumer criticizes GOP border funding
Senate Republicans voted to approve a $70 billion funding package for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol, mostly along party lines, despite opposition from Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer criticized the measure, accusing Republicans of prioritizing resources for former President Trump's personal security and "slush funds" rather than addressing issues like housing, healthcare, and lowering costs for Americans. The legislation includes funding for a controversial $2 billion anti-weaponization fund, which the DOJ plans to establish but has not yet set up, with some Republicans opposing its implementation.
