House Democrats Cave on Border Emergency Bill

“House Democrats will vote Thursday on a clean Senate-passed bill to address the border crisis, marking a blow to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and liberal members who had demanded additional protections for migrant children,” The Hill reports.

“Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX), a border lawmaker, announced the plan as he emerged from an emergency meeting in Pelosi’s office. And other lawmakers said Democratic leaders are already whipping the $4.6 billion Senate proposal.”
