That's after the break.
The Senate is voting today on a $70 billion bill funding immigration enforcement that is a priority for President Trump and Republicans.
But the measure has been delayed by an internal GOP fight over legislation that would officially kill President Trump's $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
The fund's opponents dragged action on the Senate floor to a halt for hours today.
Republican Senator Tom Tillis of North Carolina, who is retiring, pushed for amendments blocking the fund.
But while many Senate Republicans opposed the fund, few appeared willing to insist on language ending it in exchange for supporting the immigration bill.
While the Trump administration has retreated from the fund, the Justice Department is considering other means to pay allies of the president who claim they were politically targeted by the federal government.
And the $1.8 billion fund could continue to be a headache for Acting Attorney General Todd Blanch, after President Trump said he'll nominate Blanch to run the Justice Department.
Blanch has been serving in the role on a temporary basis since Pam Bondi was fired in April.
He's faced backlash from both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate over the fund, the same lawmakers whose votes he'll need to be confirmed as Attorney General.
Talking to reporters today in Ohio, Blanch said he has good relationships with Senate lawmakers.
Six years ago, it was the depths of the COVID pandemic.
And nationwide, people were protesting police violence and racism following George Floyd's murder in Minneapolis in 2020.
And cities across the U.S.
were responding by removing statues and monuments commemorating Confederate generals, founding fathers, and European explorers.
Now, the statue wars are back.
Traditionalists are suing and lobbying local governments to return the memorials to public spaces.
WSJ national affairs reporter Cameron McWhirter has been covering this push.
He joins us now.
Cameron, my first thought here was, where have these statues been for the last six years?
