Democrats Still Negotiating to Avert Shutdown

“Senate Democrats are negotiating with the White House over government funding barely 36 hours before most of the federal government is set to shut down,” the Washington Post reports.

“Democrats have demanded that Republicans agree to break off Department of Homeland Security funding from a larger funding bill after federal personnel participating in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown killed Alex Pretti last week in Minneapolis. They are pushing for new restrictions on such officials before they support funding DHS.”
