Republicans revive immigration bill and consider blocking Trump-linked victim compensation fund

Republicans have brought back an immigration measure in Congress. The revived bill proposes changes to current immigration policy. Lawmakers are also debating a separate provision. The provision would prohibit the president from establishing a fund. The fund would pay individuals who claim government persecution. Critics argue the fund could be used for political purposes. Supporters say blocking it prevents misuse of taxpayer money. The outcome will affect both immigration reform and potential executive‑branch funding mechanisms.
