"The House is effectively frozen after GOP leaders failed to move the proposed rule out of committee Monday night, halting action on all major legislation this week."
"Changes that GOP leaders made to FISA last week have not been enough to sway holdouts, who are still demanding that warrant requirements be attached to the bill."
"There's widespread resistance among House Republicans to moving a bill to fund the rest of DHS before getting ICE and CBP funding squared away through reconciliation."
"Members worry that if the House moves first on passing a DHS funding bill without ICE and CBP, the Senate could backtrack on funding those two agencies."
House Republicans are facing internal conflict over three significant measures: a long-term extension of Section 702 of FISA, the farm bill, and a budget reconciliation package for ICE and Border Patrol funding. GOP leaders struggled to advance a proposed rule, leading to a legislative standstill. Conservatives demand further changes, particularly regarding warrant requirements for FISA. With a looming deadline for the FISA program, some members suggest a short-term extension may be necessary. Distrust between House and Senate Republicans complicates funding discussions for DHS, ICE, and CBP.
