Todd Blanche withdraws Trump's anti-weaponisation fund proposal

Two Republican senators have asked the White House for a written assurance that former President Donald Trump will not resurrect a controversial policy proposal that had been previously rejected by Congress. The request, made on the Senate floor earlier this week, seeks a formal guarantee that Trump will not pursue the plan, which critics have described as a potential rollback of recent legislative compromises on immigration and border security.

Senators John Cornyn of Texas and Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said the written commitment is intended to prevent future political disputes and to preserve the stability of the bipartisan agreements that were reached last session. White House officials have not yet responded publicly to the demand, and the senators indicated they will continue to monitor the situation closely. If the guarantee is provided, it could close a lingering point of contention between the executive branch and congressional leaders, reinforcing the current legislative framework.
