Senate Advances Immigration Funding Bill, Drops White House Ballroom Funds

Senate Advances Immigration Funding Bill, Drops White House Ballroom Funds

Senate Republicans have moved forward with a reconciliation package to fund the Department of Homeland Security's immigration agencies. The decision follows a contentious debate over a Justice Department fund that threatened to derail the funding. The Senate voted 53 to 46 to proceed with the package, which includes $72 billion for immigration agencies through fiscal year 2029. A controversial $1 billion allocation for Secret Service security upgrades, including a ballroom for President Trump's East Wing, was removed due to scrutiny from some Republicans. The reconciliation process allows the bill to bypass the usual 60-vote threshold, enabling Republicans to advance it without Democratic support.
