Senate Republicans drop plans for $1bn to fund security at Trump’s ballroom
Senate Republicans abandoned a $1bn plan to fund security upgrades for Donald Trump’s White House ballroom after concerns it could threaten $70bn in funding for immigration enforcement. The Senate judiciary committee had previously included ballroom security funding in a broader measure authorizing $70bn for agencies involved in Trump’s deportation campaign.
