GOP eyes scrapping White House ballroom funding in immigration bill
TL;DR Summary
Four Republican senators publicly oppose funding for the White House East Wing ballroom as part of the immigration-enforcement bill, with others privately opposed; some urge removing or shrinking the $1 billion Secret Service line-item, while Democrats oppose the package overall. The White House has briefed lawmakers, and leaders aim to vote before Memorial Day recess, potentially stripping the provision if needed.
