Trump weaponization fund blocked by...?

On May 18, 2026, the United States Department of Justice announced the creation of “The Anti-Weaponization Fund,” a program intended to compensate individuals or entities that were harmed by “weaponization of the criminal justice system” (see: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-anti-weaponization-fund). This market will resolve to “Yes” if any US court legally blocks the payment of funds from The Anti-Weaponization Fund by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. A qualifying block must be a general block on the payment of funds from The Anti-Weaponization Fund, including broader blocks on the implementation of the fund as a whole. Blocks limited to specific individuals or instances of payments will not qualify. Any official court action that temporarily or permanently creates a qualifying block (e.g., a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, stay, or substantially similar order) will count. Filings, hearings, or statements without an operative order will not qualify. The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from relevant courts, however a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.
