Senate Advances Immigration Bill After GOP Scraps $1B for White House Ballroom Security
TL;DR Summary
The Senate voted 53-45 to advance a roughly $72 billion immigration funding package after Republicans removed about $1 billion for Secret Service security upgrades tied to President Trump's planned White House ballroom; Democrats argued security money should not be attached to immigration aid. The bill will be debated and amended before final passage and a vote in the House, then sent to President Trump, with the ballroom project remaining a contentious point.
