United States Republican senators removed $1 billion in funding for a White House ballroom from a $72 billion immigration enforcement bill on Wednesday afternoon. The proposal for the 90,000-square-foot facility faced insufficient support in the Senate during negotiations. The removal signals a shift in fiscal priorities as lawmakers balance security costs against what Democrats call a gilded vanity project.
