Republicans faced growing opposition to their bill despite last-minute lobbying from President Trump.
In the face of defeat, Republicans decided prior to an emergency closed-door meeting with rank and file members to postpone the vote until Friday, according to a House GOP aide.
The bill, a compromise between Republican moderates and conservatives, would have imposed limits on legal immigration, provided a pathway to citizenship to young undocumented immigrants and $25 billion for Trump’s border wall.
The measure also would have kept migrant families together at the border, placing them in detention.
This is a developing story. It will be updated.
