After a closed-door lunch, GOP lawmakers predicted the Senate would approve a resolution Thursday annulling the emergency Trump has declared along the border. Lee said later in a statement that he will back the resolution canceling the border emergency because his own bill now lacks "an immediate path forward." Trump had customs, border patrol and other officials reiterate his case about the need for a border wall during a meeting with senators Wednesday. It would apply to future emergencies, but not Trump's current border emergency unless he seeks to renew it next year. The strongest chance of blocking Trump's border emergency is likely several lawsuits filed by Democratic state attorneys general, environmental groups and others.
