Senat dari Partai Republik telah meluncurkan rancangan undang-undang penegakan imigrasi senilai US$72 miliar yang mencakup US$1 miliar untuk peningkatan keamanan Secret Service yang terkait dengan proyek modernisasi East Wing Gedung Putih. Pendanaan ini muncul di tengah kebutuhan keamanan yang meningkat menyusul upaya pembunuhan terhadap Presiden Trump baru-baru ini. Partai Demokrat mengkritik langkah tersebut sebagai upaya menggunakan uang pembayar pajak untuk ruang dansa presiden.

RUU tersebut, yang dirilis pada hari Senin oleh Ketua Komite Kehakiman Senat Chuck Grassley, mengalokasikan dana tersebut secara khusus untuk penyesuaian dan peningkatan keamanan di dalam pagar perimeter Gedung Putih. Para pejabat Gedung Putih menekankan bahwa dana tersebut tidak dapat digunakan untuk elemen non-keamanan apa pun dari proyek tersebut, yang menurut mereka dibiayai melalui donasi pribadi. Presiden Trump membela kenaikan biaya ruang dansa tersebut di Truth Social, dengan menyatakan bahwa proposal awal sebesar US$200 juta telah membengkak karena proyek tersebut sekarang dua kali lebih besar dan memiliki kualitas yang lebih tinggi daripada yang direncanakan semula, dengan perkiraan biaya akhir kurang dari US$400 juta.

Apa yang dikatakan orang

Reaksi awal di X menyoroti perpecahan partisan, dengan tokoh Partai Demokrat seperti Senator Schumer mengkritik dana US$1 miliar tersebut sebagai pemborosan uang pembayar pajak untuk proyek ruang dansa Trump di tengah prioritas lainnya. Pengguna yang skeptis berpendapat bahwa pembingkaian media mengabaikan fakta bahwa dana tersebut ditargetkan untuk peningkatan keamanan Secret Service yang terkait dengan modernisasi East Wing, bukan untuk pembangunan ruang dansa. Unggahan dengan keterlibatan tinggi dari media seperti CBS dan Forbes mencatat klaim Trump mengenai pendanaan pribadi untuk ruang dansa itu sendiri, sementara Partai Republik mengaitkan kebutuhan keamanan dengan ancaman baru-baru ini. Sentimen negatif menyebut langkah tersebut munafik atau berlebihan, sementara laporan netral merinci konteks penegakan imigrasi dalam RUU tersebut.
