Washington Post: Trump and His Aides Take Hard Line on Border Wall, as Threat of Government Shutdown Looms

The Washington Post reports that negotiations between the White House, Republicans, and Democrats are ramping up to avoid a potential government shutdown on Friday, April 29. The groups are at odds over clashing spending priorities, including funding for a border wall. Democrats have stated they vigorously oppose any money for the border wall in a new spending bill, and some Republican congressional leaders have also voiced skepticism about including wall funding in the bill. Republicans will need to garner at least some Democratic support in order to meet the 60 votes necessary to pass a spending bill. It remains unclear if President Trump would sign a bill without border funding. Read this story and more in AILA's daily immigration news clips.
