WASHINGTON: Republicans postponed a key Thursday vote on US immigration reform
until next week in Congress, as the party's divided factions failed to agree on
legislation that addresses the family separation crisis.
First a hardline proposal was defeated, as expected, by 193 votes to 231.

Then voting on a so-called compromise bill
between the party's hard-right and moderate wings was pushed back to Friday,
before it was postponed again until next week, multiple Republican aides said.
The legislative drama marked a major embarrassment for President Donald Trump's party in Congress.
It came a day after Trump -- in a stunning about-face -- moved to end the practice of splitting migrant families after they cross into the US from Mexico.
