Negotiators reach tentative deal to avoid another shutdown

(AP) – Details won’t be officially released until Tuesday, but Congressional negotiators have reached agreement to prevent another partial government shutdown, financing construction of new barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border.

The tentative agreement allocates $1.4 billion for President Donald Trump’s border wall instead of the $5.7 he demanded.

And the pact includes increases for advanced screening at border entry points and humanitarian aid sought by Democrats.
