House Republican holds up $19 billion disaster relief bill expected to pass unanimously:
The bill was expected to pass the House under a unanimous consent process, to which any member may object. ... “Secondly, it’s a bill that includes nothing to address the clear
national emergency and humanitarian crisis we face at our southern
border,” [Chip] Roy [TX:21] said. ... President Donald Trump has declared the situation on the southern
border a national emergency and had previously sought to include
border-related funding in the bill. He later dropped the demand. ... Roy, in a statement later Friday, wrote that “I stayed in D.C. to
object because this kind of swampy practice is what Texans elected me
to stand against.
