Immigration funding push could strand Pentagon money amid Iran-war debate

Senate Republicans are pursuing a fast-track immigration-enforcement funding bill that could strand or reallocate Pentagon funds, with talk of attaching Iran-war spending and other defense money to a larger reconciliation package. GOP leaders say they’ll try to pass defense spending if Democrats join, but Rand Paul is undecided and some conservatives warn about debt. Lindsey Graham hints at a broader third reconciliation or bipartisan back-up plan, while House support remains uncertain as the year progresses.
