House Republican leadership plans to bring a border-security bill to the floor next week — the first move on immigration reform this year following last week’s House vote to roll back President Barack Obama’s executive actions on immigration.

The GOP leadership announced the plans at a closed-door party meeting Wednesday morning, sources said. The legislation comes from House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Mike McCaul (R-Texas), who unveiled the 72-page bill last week.

The legislation is set for a markup in committee on Wednesday afternoon.
