The Trump administration signaled it is retreating from a heavily criticized $1.766 billion "anti-weaponization" fund that was designed to compensate Americans who said they were unfairly prosecuted during the Biden and Obama presidencies.
The Justice Department on June 1 said it would stop working on the fund after a federal judge temporarily blocked its creation.
Slammed by critics as "slush fund" for President Donald Trump's allies, the effort faced bipartisan opposition in Congress and became an obstacle for Republican leaders to pass a bill aimed at boosting immigration enforcement.
A federal judge in Virginia on Friday, May 29 temporarily ordered the Trump administration not to take further action creating or operating the fund, including transferring any federal dollars or considering any claims. A court hearing is set for June 12 in a case brought by opponents, including a prosecutor who tried cases against people who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
