Judge Norma Holloway Johnson pressed for clarity as three agents face grand jury questions, with Betty Currie testifying nearby and a ruling expected later.

It would deny nonhumanitarian aid, bar certain exports and visas for persecutors, and extend refugee immigration preferences, while the White House warns of a veto and cautions on foreign policy risks.
