White House Ballroom Under Fire
Description
A 21-year-old man was fatally shot by Secret Service agents after opening fire at a White House checkpoint, sparking a high-stakes legal battle over a new ballroom construction. The Department of Justice is using the tragedy to argue the facility is essential for national security, citing advanced defenses like drone-proof roofs, missile-resistant columns, and sniper positions. Despite usually keeping such details secret, they’ve now revealed them in court filings to justify the project — even as Senate funding efforts for the Secret Service fell short. Appeals court arguments are set for early June.
