Senate Throws Trump a Temporary Lifeline

Democrats have agreed to fund the Department of Homeland Security for two whole weeks, giving them a tiny window to negotiate with President Trump on his immigration policies. It’s a temporary reprieve, and it won’t give them much time to hash out a deal.

The Sticking Point: ICE

The big issue on the table is Trump’s immigration crackdown, and Democrats are pushing to restrict his plans. They won’t budge on this, and it’s going to be a tough sell for Trump. Don’t expect a miracle – this is a classic case of political gridlock.
