In his presentation, Vought will detail what the administration requires for "robust and sustained" border security and immigration enforcement, according to the official. 

Vought will explain that given Trump's significant actions to address illegal immigration, money is running out, and for the administration to keep enforcing the new policies and conducting operations across the country, those resources must be renewed.

This will be relayed to the Republican senators by Vought during the GOP lunch. 

The $175 billion topline request has already been factored into Senate Committee on the Budget Chairman Lindsey Graham's reconciliation bill, which is slated to go through the key committee this week.
