Bode Miller’s daughter dies in drowning

WASHINGTON — After a frenzied, late- night negotiation, Speaker Paul Ryan defused a moderate Republican rebellion on Tuesday with a promise to hold high- stakes votes on immigration next week, thrusting the divisive issue onto center stage in the middle of an election season.

The move by Mr. Ryan was something of a defeat for the rebellious immigration moderates, who fell two signatures short of the 218 needed to forced the House to act this month on bipartisan measures aimed more directly at helping young immigrants brought to the country illegally as children.

Instead, the House is most likely to vote on one hard- line immigration measure backed by President Donald Trump and conservatives — and another more moderate compromise bill that was still being drafted, according to people familiar with the talks. Had the rebels secured just two more signatures for their “discharge petition,” they would have also gotten votes on the Dream Act, which would have given legalization and a path to citizenship for young immigrants brought as children, known as Dreamers, and another bipartisan measure that would have coupled aid to Dreamers and some added border enforcement.
