美國參議院共和黨人因黨內反對聲浪，放棄就移民執法撥款法案進行表決，爭議點在於川普要求設立18億美元基金賠償「政府武器化」受害者，適用對象竟包含2021年國會暴動暴力事件遭定罪者。
（中央社華盛頓21日綜合外電報導）由於共和黨內部反對聲浪，美國參議院共和黨人放棄就移民執法行動撥款法案進行表決，爭議集中在川普要求設立18億美元基金賠償政府武器化受害者，適用對象竟包含2021年國會暴動暴力事件遭定罪者。路透社報導，聯邦參議院取消對一項720億美元法案進行表決的計畫，該法案旨在資助由美國移民暨海關執法局（ICE）主導的川普大規模驅逐移民行動。這場表決至少延至6月，屆時國會議員將結束為期1週的美國國殤日休會期，並返回崗位。聯邦參議院多數黨領袖圖恩（John Thune）無奈地說：「這原本應該是一項範圍非常有限、目標明確、重點集中、乾淨俐落的法案，這週卻變得有點複雜了。這讓整件事變得比原本困難得多。」
