Expect a major floor speech by Sen. Lindsey Graham<\/a>, R-S.C., around 11:30 a.m. ET Friday about why he\u2019s holding up the revised government funding package.<\/p>\n

Graham tells Fox News he will lift his hold on the bill if he gets an agreement to have a vote on his bill to criminalize the conduct of local officials who operate sanctuary cities<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Graham and other Republican senators believe they have the home field advantage when they talk about the causes that led to the border crisis and illegal immigration<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He and other GOPers believe the two-week funding window for DHS gives Republicans the opportunity to reclaim the issue.<\/p>\n

HOUSE CONSERVATIVES SKEPTICAL AS SENATE DEAL SACRIFICING DHS SPENDING REACHED: ‘NON-STARTER’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Secondly, Graham wants a vote to expand the pool<\/a> of up to 190 groups or individuals who were surveilled by former Special Counsel Jack Smith to give them the right to sue Smith.<\/p>\n

TENSIONS BOIL IN HOUSE OVER EMERGING SENATE DEAL TO AVERT GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A provision giving certain Republican lawmakers whose phone records were targeted by Smith the right to sue for $500,000 was stripped from the minibus spending package<\/a> by the House.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So Graham wants to broaden the pool of those who can sue for damages. He also wants to restrict investigations from acquiring future telephonic metadata of House and Senate members, unless they are facing a criminal investigation themselves. This would bar future “fishing expeditions.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
