Politico reports GOP leadership is planning to bring an immigration bill to the floor today — a condition of farm bill support from the Freedom Caucus, the conservative coalition that helped defeat it the first time round. Once that’s done, the farm bill could be voted upon immediately — or it could be kicked to Friday.
