McCarthy vows to move forward with House bill to avert shutdown despite GOP holdouts
CBSN
Washington — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he would bring up a Republican stopgap measure for a vote on Friday ahead of a looming government shutdown, though it appears he still lacks enough support among his own GOP members to pass it before funding runs out Saturday night.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, McCarthy said he confident it would pass the House, a tall order given apparent opposition from a group of hard-right Republicans and all Democrats. Lawmakers have until midnight on Oct. 1 to come to an agreement to avoid a shutdown.
"We're going to pass ours," the California Republican told reporters Thursday. "We're going to bring that up on Friday."

A top Immigration and Customs Enforcement official on Thursday detailed what she said were deplorable and unsafe conditions faced by ICE staff and a group of migrants with criminal records who were transferred to a U.S. military base in the African country of Djibouti after a federal judge blocked officials from deporting them to South Sudan.
