The U.S. Department of Justice says it will comply with a district judge’s ruling that temporarily pauses the administration’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund.” The DOJ statement, reported by multiple outlets, says the department strongly disagrees with the court’s decision, but will still abide by the order while it remains in effect. According to reporting, the fund is described as a $1.776 million to $1.8 billion effort intended to address victims of alleged government “weaponization,” though sources characterize the amount slightly differently. The court order freezes the fund’s establishment temporarily, pending further legal proceedings. The DOJ’s position is that the ruling is incorrect, but it does not contest the need to follow the judge’s directive in the interim. The dispute centers on whether the fund’s creation and purpose are lawful, with the DOJ signaling disagreement on substance while maintaining compliance with the judiciary’s authority.
