Will the ballroom still be built?

The ballroom project has already faced legal challenges. A federal judge previously blocked construction, ruling that Trump had exceeded his authority. However, an appeals court later allowed work to continue in April while the case proceeds through the courts.

The larger budget bill remains mostly intact despite the parliamentarian’s decision. It includes about $72 billion to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection through September 2029. The legislation follows a 76-day government shutdown earlier this year caused by a dispute over ICE funding.

Republicans said Saturday night that they are revising the bill based on the parliamentarian’s guidance.

For now, it remains uncertain whether any part of the $1 billion White House security proposal can survive in its current form.
