Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) will be at odds with his conference next week as he tries to pass a narrow Senate reconciliation bill to fund border enforcement, despite many Republicans wanting a wider bill to boost their 2026 standing. 

The Senate moved forward with a plan to provide up to $70 billion for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and its sister agency, Customs and Border Protection, using a party-line process known as reconciliation that bypasses the 60-vote filibuster threshold. However, House Republicans are up in the air about the proposal.
