House GOP leaders are considering delaying a vote on their party-line immigration enforcement bill until after next week’s Memorial Day recess, according to three people granted anonymity to describe internal conversations — possibly inching right up to President Donald Trump’s June 1 deadline.
The Senate has yet to release final bill text or launch debate, meaning the House might not get the bill until well into Friday. Leaders there don’t know how long they can keep their members in town ahead of a busy holiday weekend. A number of New York Republicans, for instance, want to attend a Friday event with Trump in Rep. Mike Lawler’s district.
Speaker Mike Johnson is set to meet with Trump at the White House Thursday afternoon, where they will likely discuss next steps.
