Legal challenges and congressional resistance have intensified since the Justice Department established the nearly $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund on May 18, 2026, via a settlement tied to President Trump's IRS lawsuit. Multiple federal suits, including actions by Capitol Police officers and a coalition of critics, seek to halt distributions, arguing the use of the Judgment Fund lacks authorization and raises constitutional concerns. Bipartisan legislation has emerged in the House, while Senate Republican objections delayed reconciliation votes on border funding, with figures across the aisle voicing opposition. These developments, alongside potential court rulings and legislative timelines extending into June, shape trader assessments of blocking timelines.
