TL;DR Summary

Senate Republicans attach $1 billion in White House security upgrades to a bill funding immigration enforcement, directing funds to the Secret Service for security work on the planned Trump White House ballroom. The move follows a security breach at a White House dinner, with Democrats opposing public funding for the ballroom while the White House says the enhancements are necessary to harden security. The House bill is not yet released and the final use of funds remains unclear amid ongoing legal challenges to the project.
