The deal grants a vote on Mike Lee’s amendment to cut off funding for DHS Sec unless Title 42 stays in place (at a 51-vote threshold). There’s a side-by-side Sinema/Tester amendment that approves more money for border enforcement, immig courts, ICE and more (this needs 60). — PolitiTweet.org

The expected endgame here is the Lee amendment fails because Democrats who support Title 42 can vote for the Sinema amendment instead — which is also likely to fail. In that scenario the coalition to pass the overall omnibus stays in tact, including in the House. — PolitiTweet.org
