The release explains the bill was introduced after DOJ/Treasury announced on May 18, 2026 that Treasury would direct $1.776 billion to the Anti-Weaponization Fund, and says the legislation “makes clear that no federal funds may be used for the payment of any claim submitted to the Anti-Weaponization Fund.”

Shows Suozzi’s immediate response to the fund announcement and a specific prohibition proposal. This indicates active effort, but not delivered outcome.
