According to The Hill, the House has delayed the vote on the compromise immigration bill that was slated for a vote today. Apparently they are having a hard time whipping up the votes to pass it:
House Republican leaders are delaying a vote on a compromise immigration bill until Friday.
The delay comes as leadership has struggled to secure 218 votes for the measure, which is the product of weeks of negotiations between centrists and conservatives.

This morning Freedom Caucus member Jim Jordan explained why he wasn’t voting for the compromise bill:

So they chose not to delay this one, which tells you that the leadership didn’t really care about this one passing.
