Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Corva Coleman.
Congress has left for its Memorial Day recess.
The Senate left without passing President Trump's top priority, funding an immigration enforcement bill.
But Trump has fresh demands, including a billion dollars for his ballroom.
The other issue is a nearly $2 billion fund announced this week.
NPR's Barbara Sprunt says it is supposed to give money to people who say they were targeted by the Justice Department.
That could include funding the people who ransacked the Capitol and attacked police on January 6th.
There were a number of Republican senators who right out of the gate said they were blindsided by this.
Of course, this is money that hasn't been appropriated by Congress.
And enough Senate Republicans were alarmed over the plan and wanted
to address it before they passed this immigration funding.
NPR's Barbara Sprint reporting.
The House has left, too, but House Republicans called
off a vote last night on a measure limiting Trump's war powers in Iran.
GOP House leaders did not have enough votes to defeat that measure.
Under U.S. Pressure, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations
has withdrawn his bid for vice president of the General Assembly.
NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv.
Palestinian U.N. Ambassador Riyad Mansour dropped out of the race for General Assembly president in February under U.S.
Pressure.
