Last updated July 09, 2026 By LawfareClaims.org

The DOJ Anti-Weaponization Fund is a proposed $1.776 billion federal compensation pool for individuals, businesses, and nonprofits who say they were targeted by politically motivated federal enforcement. This section gathers everything we track about the fund in one place — what it is, who may qualify, current status, and how to prepare a claim. It is separate from the rest of Lawfare Claims, which covers general legal claims like class actions, settlements, injuries, and workplace rights.
