WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama plans to meet with Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid as Congress debates a series of issues at the top of the president's agenda.

The White House says Obama will meet with Reid Wednesday afternoon.

Obama faces fights over immigration, DHS funding

The meeting comes a day after a federal district court judge's decision halting implementation of Obama's executive actions on immigration.

The Senate is debating legislation to finance the Homeland Security Department, which oversees immigration enforcement. Republicans want language in that spending bill that would reverse the executive actions. Obama has said he would veto legislation with those conditions.

Congress is also reviewing Obama's request for authority to use military force against Islamic State militants for three years. Republicans say the request is too narrow; many Democrats say it is overly broad.
