WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republicans on the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees last week unveiled legislative text to fund Department of Homeland Security immigration enforcement through fiscal year 2029. The proposal carries a $72 billion price tag and includes $1 billion for the Secret Service tied to security work at the White House complex.

The package allocates more than $38 billion to Immigration and Customs Enforcement and $26 billion to Customs and Border Protection. The Secret Service funding covers security adjustments and upgrades, including enhancements related to the 90,000-square-foot East Wing Modernization Project. The legislative text stipulates that none of the funds may be used for non-security elements related to the project, and would allow the money to be spent on above-ground and below-ground security features.

The Senate is scheduled to return to Washington on Monday after a week-long recess. President Trump set a June 1 deadline for both chambers to approve the legislation and send it to his desk. Republicans hold a 53-seat majority in the Senate. Most legislation requires 60 votes to move forward, but the budget reconciliation process allows the Senate to advance a measure with direct budgetary consequences with only a simple majority, leaving Democrats without the ability to stop the funding plan unless Republican senators join them.

Trump announced the makeover of the White House's East Wing last July, and by October the East Wing structure had been demolished. The administration has said the renovation is necessary for security and hosting large events, and the project includes revamped underground national security and health care facilities in addition to a ballroom. Trump has repeatedly said the ballroom is being funded through donations, not taxpayer dollars. He reiterated his push for the makeover in the aftermath of the White House Correspondents' Dinner shooting late last month.

The construction project was temporarily blocked by a court challenge in late March. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit allowed work to resume last month, and the next court hearing is scheduled for June 5.

"As President Trump has repeatedly said, the White House must be a safe and secure complex that generations of future presidents and visitors to the People's house can enjoy," White House spokesman Davis Ingle said. In a separate statement, the White House said, "Congress has rightly recognized the need for these funds."

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer of New York objected to the Secret Service allocation in a letter to Senate Democrats on Monday. "At a time when Americans can't make ends meet, Republicans say 'Let them eat cake' — and then hand Trump a billion dollars to build a ballroom to serve it in," Schumer wrote.
