The U.S. Department of Justice has temporarily backed away from launching a $1.77 billion "anti-weaponization fund" after a federal judge issued a short-term restraining order. Democrats expressed dissatisfaction with the DOJ's decision to pause the program. The action halts the fund's rollout while legal proceedings continue.
