Ballroom won’t be funded after Senate GOP drops $1 billion Trump security request

Senate Republicans have removed a $1 billion Secret Service funding request for President Trump's ballroom project from their immigration enforcement bill due to parliamentary objections and internal GOP opposition. The Senate Parliamentarian ruled the provision violated filibuster rules, and multiple Republican senators publicly and privately opposed including ballroom funding in immigration legislation. The White House had prioritized this language to gain congressional approval for the project, which currently faces legal challenges.
