Trump White House Ballroom

Democratic senators are planning to force a vote on President Donald Trump’s new $1.776 billion settlement fund to compensate his political allies. It'll test Republican unity as part of the debate over legislation to restore funding to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Border Patrol. Passage of that immigration agencies' bill was supposed to be straightforward for Republicans. But the fight over the settlement fund and a proposed $1 billion for the White House campus and Trump’s new ballroom have complicated the legislation. And Trump has gone to social media to unload on Republican senators who are challenging parts of his agenda.
