Republicans want to add $1 billion for Trump's ballroom security to ICE funding plan - NPR

House and Senate Republicans had proposed adding $1 billion for the president’s planned White House ballroom as part of an ICE funding push, framing it as security construction. That effort has now been abandoned by Senate GOP leaders after multiple Republican senators objected to sending taxpayer dollars to the project, and the parliamentarian’s ruling remains a major procedural obstacle to any future attempt to attach the money to an immigration package. Disagreement over that ballroom funding and other Trump-backed demands contributed to the collapse of this week’s ICE funding vote.
