G.O.P. Revives Immigration Bill, Weighing Ban on Trump’s Fund

Summary

Republicans are reviving an immigration bill but face an internal standoff: several GOP members want to block President Trump from establishing a fund to compensate people claiming to be victims of government persecution. The provision would constrain Trump's ability to use executive action to create what supporters view as restitution for those harmed by prior administrations' policies. The dispute highlights tensions within the party over how much presidential power to permit, even from their own leader, as lawmakers balance party unity against constitutional concerns about executive overreach.
