Senate Republicans inserted $1 billion for security upgrades tied to the White House East Wing renovation into a broader immigration enforcement package.

•⁠ ⁠The roughly $70 billion bill boosts funding for ICE and border enforcement and is being advanced through a party-line process to bypass Democratic opposition.

•⁠ ⁠The measure does not mention President Trump’s planned ballroom, which he has said would be funded privately, but focuses on security-related improvements around the project.

•⁠ ⁠Democrats blasted the move as misplaced spending, while Republicans argue the funding is needed to strengthen security and move the broader immigration package forward.
