共和党は、移民・税関執行と税関・国境警備に資金を提供する720億ドルの予算案を可決するプロセスを上院議場で開始することを期待していた。 Democrats rejected funding for both DHS agencies after the deaths of two civilians at the hands of federal agents during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis in January, triggering a months-long partial government shutdown.

As Republicans sought to replenish funding for ICE and CBP through the budget reconciliation process, Congress passed and President Trump signed a bill in April funding the remaining agencies, effectively ending the partial shutdown.

Under budget reconciliation, the Senate only has a 50-vote threshold for passing legislation, but it is allowed to use it only for spending-related measures.

その一例として、同氏が提案するホワイトハウスの宴会場に関連したセキュリティ強化に納税者の資金を投入するかどうかをめぐって党内で意見の相違が生じた。 Senators ruled last week that the $1 billion Secret Service provision for the project could not be included in the package, but Senate Republicans initially said they would rework the language and try again.

Trump was furious with the lawmaker, a bipartisan lawmaker who advises on Senate procedure, and called for her removal in a post on Truth Social. But by Wednesday, anger over the socialite funding was growing among party members, and Politico reported that it was likely to be removed from the reconciliation bill, in a blow to President Trump.

“What people are worried about is paying their mortgage, paying their rent, buying groceries, paying their gas bills, not raising a $1.8 billion fund that the president and his allies can pay to whomever they want, without precedent or accountability,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-Louisiana), who lost his re-election bid after President Trump endorsed one of his opponents in last weekend’s Republican primary, posted on X on Wednesday.

“This is adding to the national debt. If a settlement is needed, the administration should bring it to Congress and decide,” Cassidy said.

“Democrats are cracking down on government corruption. Republicans are actively helping Trump steal from the American people to fund his banquet halls and billion-dollar MAGA slush fund,” Schumer said Thursday.
