Summary

Congress may now put $1 billion toward the White House ballroom project, which has so far been funded through private donations. It reflects President Donald Trump’s effort to leave a physical legacy as well as meet a genuine need. Also: today’s stories, including how the Trump administration is hiring more deportation officers and will not give “an inch” even though high-profile immigration operations in U.S. cities have eased; how many Colombian veterans end up enlisting in foreign conflicts – including the front lines of Ukraine; and how the cost of food is rising quickly in Senegal. Join the Monitor's Ira Porter for today's news.
