Johnson Digs In Against Border Deal as Negotiators Try to Salvage It

Speaker Mike Johnson sought on Friday to choke off the last remaining glimmers of hope for a bipartisan immigration compromise to emerge from Congress this year, repeating that a deal under discussion in the Senate would almost certainly be “dead on arrival” in the Republican-led House.

Mr. Johnson’s statement, in a letter to House G.O.P. lawmakers, came after the top Senate Republican conceded this week that the opposition of former President Donald J. Trump had made the proposed border agreement politically difficult for the party to embrace, effectively killing its chances.

Mayorkas, the homeland security secretary, and doubled down on his demands that Congress embrace either an immigration crackdown bill the House passed last year or an equally severe measure.
