AI Summary
House Republicans are expressing discontent over a "skinny" reconciliation bill designed to fund immigration enforcement, complicating its passage. Their grumbling stems from the package's structure and skepticism about passing another GOP-only funding measure this year. This internal opposition creates hurdles for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who intends to bring the bill to the House floor next week. The discord within the Republican caucus could jeopardize efforts to secure funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This situation highlights ongoing challenges for House leadership in uniting the party on key legislative priorities.
