Thanks, Rebecca.

Thanks.

Coming up, where a potential Iran peace deal stands and how the Trump administration's immigration policies are spoiling some people's World Cup plans.

Those stories and more after the break.

Today, a federal judge in Virginia stopped the Trump administration from proceeding with its $1.8 billion, quote, anti-weaponization fund.

The government has argued that the issue was moot.

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch told Congress earlier this month that the administration wasn't moving forward with the fund.

But Judge Liani Brinkema said there was enough conflicting evidence that she couldn't be sure that the government had truly abandoned it.

She gave the government a week to make a written and binding commitment under penalty of perjury to drop the fund.

The first World Cup game on U.S.

soil is this evening.

It's the U.S.

vs. Paraguay, playing in Los Angeles at 9 p.m.

Eastern.

And though President Trump has promoted the tournament as a historic opportunity to showcase the, quote, beauty and greatness of America, his immigration policies are facing criticism.

More than two dozen players, staff, and officials have had trouble entering the U.S.

One case that got a lot of attention was a Somali referee who was questioned for more than 10 hours at the Miami airport.

He was then removed from the U.S.

And as for the fans, some have said that they spent thousands of dollars on tickets, flights and hotels only to be denied visas.

Trump officials have defended the disruptions as the price of keeping the country safe.
