华盛顿讯 —— 参议院共和党议员正在修改其国土安全部下属移民机构的资助计划部分内容。此前，参议院议事规则负责人对特朗普总统的白宫东翼改造计划的安保资金作出不利裁决，该计划包括建造大型舞厅的方案。
在民主党数月拒绝为国土安全部的移民执法机构提供资金后，参议院共和党议员一直在推进一项计划，通过预算协调程序为这些机构提供资金。这一程序允许共和党多数党无需跨党派支持即可推进相关法案。本月早些时候，参议院司法委员会和国土安全委员会的共和党议员公布了一项720亿美元法案的文本，拟在2029财年前为移民执法提供资金，目标是在6月1日前将该法案提交总统签署。
除移民执法资金外，该法案还将为特勤局提供10亿美元用于“安保调整和升级”，其中包括支持与9万平方英尺的“东翼现代化项目”相关的改造工程。特朗普总统于去年7月宣布改造白宫东翼，除新建舞厅外，还将改造地下国家安全和医疗设施。共和党议员表示，舞厅安保费用约占拟拨付特勤局资金的20%。
但参议院预算委员会的民主党议员周六晚间透露，参议院议事规则负责人即议会认定，该条款所资助的活动超出了司法委员会的管辖范围，且违反了伯德规则。
“尽管我们预计共和党会修改法案以讨好特朗普，但民主党已准备好挑战对该法案的任何修改，”参议院预算委员会最高民主党议员、俄勒冈州参议员杰夫·默克利表示。“我们不能让共和党浪费国家财富，去执行一场混乱且腐败的任务，同时对美国民众的需求视而不见。”
如果该条款保留在法案中，将需要60票的表决门槛才能通过。共和党目前仅占53个席位，若不进行修改，该法案几乎没有机会在参议院获得足够支持推进。据参议院司法委员会发言人表示，“我们仍在进行对话和修改，这一过程已经持续了数日。”
参议院司法委员会的共和党议员周五表示，技术性调整“是预算协调程序中的标准环节”，并指出修订和磋商工作正在进行中。
“重新起草、完善、重新提交。在伯德规则程序中，这些都绝非反常之举，”参议院多数党领袖约翰·思恩的发言人瑞安·拉瑟表示。
该条款也给共和党带来了潜在的政治障碍，让面临竞争选区的议员在11月的选举前处于脆弱境地。尽管法案规定，任何资金都不得用于与舞厅相关的非安保用途，但民主党将这笔资金作为共和党支持这一不受欢迎项目的证据加以抨击。
此次裁决出台前数日，议会还认定该法案中的多项其他条款违反了伯德规则，将需要60票的表决门槛才能通过。
参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默对议会的裁决表示欢迎，他在周六晚间的一份声明中称，民主党“将尽一切所能反对这项法案——无论是在伯德规则审查程序中、在参议院 floor 进行投票，还是在共和党试图将美国人的血汗钱挪用至特朗普镀金宫殿的任何其他场合”。

Senate GOP revising White House ballroom security funding plan after parliamentarian ruling
May 17, 2026 / 1:14 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Senate Republicans are revising part of their plan to fund immigration agencies under the Department of Homeland Security after the Senate’s rulekeeper delivered a blow to security funds for President Trump’s overhaul of the East Wing of the White House, which includes his plans for a massive ballroom.
After Democrats refused for months to fund DHS’ immigration enforcement agencies, Senate Republicans have been moving ahead with a plan to fund them through the budget reconciliation process, which allows the GOP majority to move forward without help from across the aisle. Earlier this month, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary and Homeland Security committees unveiled the text of a $72 billion package to fund the immigration enforcement through fiscal year 2029 as they aim to get the package to the president’s desk by June 1.
In addition to funds for immigration enforcement, the package would also provide $1 billion to the Secret Service for “security adjustments and upgrades,” including to support enhancements related to the 90,000-square-foot “East Wing Modernization Project.” Mr. Trump announced the makeover of the White House’s East Wing last July, which includes revamped underground national security and health care facilities, in addition to the ballroom. Republicans say security for the ballroom represents around 20% of the proposed Secret Service funds.
But the Senate’s rulekeeper, known as the parliamentarian, determined that the provision funds activities beyond the jurisdiction of the Judiciary Committee and does not comply with the Byrd rule, Democrats on the Senate Budget Committee said late Saturday.
“While we expect Republicans to change this bill to appease Trump, Democrats are prepared to challenge any change to this bill,” said Sen. Jeff Merkley of Oregon, the top Democrat on the committee. “We cannot let Republicans waste our national treasure on a mission of chaos and corruption while turning a blind eye to the needs of the American people.”
If the provision remained in the bill, it would be subject to a 60-vote threshold. With 53 Republicans, it would have no chance of winning enough support in the chamber to move forward without changes. According to a Senate Judiciary Committee spokesperson, “Conversations and revisions are continuing, as they have been for days.”
Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee said Friday that technical adjustments “are a standard part of the budget reconciliation process,” noting that revisions and conversations were ongoing.
“Redraft. Refine. Resubmit. None of this is abnormal during a Byrd process,” said Ryan Wrasse, a spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Thune.
The provision has posed possible political hurdles for Republicans as well, putting lawmakers in competitive races in a vulnerable position ahead of November’s elections. While the legislation stipulates that none of the funds may be used for non-security elements related to the ballroom, Democrats have highlighted the funds as evidence of GOP support for the unpopular project.
The development also came after the parliamentarian determined days earlier that a number of other provisions within the package violated the Byrd rule and would be subject to a 60-vote threshold.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer celebrated the parliamentarian’s decision, saying in a statement late Saturday that Democrats “will keep fighting this every way we can — in the Byrd Bath, on the Senate floor with votes, and anywhere else Republicans try to raid Americans’ hard-earned money for Trump’s gilded palace.”
