Meanwhile, a Republican bill proposing $1 billion for the Secret Service to help finance President Donald Trump’s White House ballroom is at risk due to opposition from a senior Senate official, Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough.

The bill seeks funding for ICE and Border Patrol in addition to the $1 billion for the ballroom and must be revised to address jurisdictional concerns, according to multiple reports.

At the same time, Republicans are continuing work on another major component of Trump’s agenda: securing funding for immigration enforcement operations over the next three-and-a-half years

“As drafted, the provision inappropriately funds activities outside the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee,” they added.
