"Government Shutdown Looms as Border Security Funding Deal Stalls"
TL;DR
A deadlock over border security funding between Congress and the White House heightens the risk of a government shutdown, with funding for 70% of the federal government set to lapse on Saturday. Disagreements over immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border have stymied talks, with the White House rejecting a proposed funding level for the Department of Homeland Security. The dispute also complicates funding for U.S. support to Ukraine. Lawmakers may resort to a long-term stopgap spending measure to avert a shutdown, upsetting GOP hard-liners who want immigration policy concessions.
