- Republicans slip $1 billion in taxpayer money for Trump ballroom security in ICE, Border Patrol package
Senate Republicans included $1 billion in taxpayer funding for security measures tied to President Donald Trump's White House ballroom in a $72 billion immigration enforcement-focused reconciliation package. The funding is meant for security adjustments and upgrades, including above-ground and below-ground security features. The move has been criticized by Senate Democrats, who argue that it prioritizes the project over affordability issues and aid for families.
