Shutdown talks stalled
Negotiations to avert another government shutdown have stalled, leaving lawmakers in the same place they’ve been for months.
Although lawmakers were optimistic going into the weekend about reaching a border security deal and funding the government past Feb. 15, negotiators are now discussing a stopgap Homeland Security bill, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
Democratic conferees planned to meet Sunday morning to discuss the next steps, according to a source familiar with the discussions.
The impasse in negotiations adds pressure on party leaders and the White House, who will have to step in if the conference members can't quickly resolve their differences over detention beds and border barrier funding.
