 Trump’s acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney told Meet the Press this weekend, “You absolutely cannot” rule out another shutdown, because Trump still wants his border wall and Democrats still do not want to give it to him.

Still, appetite for another shutdown seems low on the Hill, even as talks among a special House and Senate committee tasked with figuring out a border security agreement stalled this weekend — the sticking point seemingly over how much to allocate for Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s detention beds.

“I think the talks are stalled right now,” said Senate Appropriations Chair Richard Shelby during an appearance on Fox News Sunday. “I’m hoping we can get off the dime later today or in the morning because time is ticking away, but we’ve got some problems with the Democrats dealing with ICE, that is detaining criminals that come into the US, and they want a cap on them. We don’t want a cap on that.”

As things stand, Democrats want to cap the number of detention beds used for interior enforcement to curb ICE’s capacity to detain undocumented immigrants, while Republicans think this would hurt enforcement of deportation policies.

Disagreement over the detention beds as well as physical barriers is now threatening to throw congressional border security talks off kilter, with the deadline just days away. In the hope of preventing a shutdown, lawmakers are also looking at another short-term spending bill to tide them over until they are able to wrangle a larger compromise.

This is something a special committee of House and Senate lawmakers put in place after the shutdown concluded in January is tasked with resolving. If the committee fails to reach a deal by the Friday deadline or if the president is unwilling to approve the agreement reached by the committee, a portion of the government could again shut down.

As recently as last Friday, the Trump administration was suggesting that a shutdown could very well be imminent. “We’re on the verge of a government shutdown again,” Trump spokesperson Hogan Gidley said. “Because Democrats won’t come to the table and have a conversation about securing the country.”

In the meantime, Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday evening to keep the pressure up on border security.

 Still, appetite for another shutdown look low on the Hill, even as talks among a particular House and Senate committee tasked with figuring out a molding security agreement stalled this weekend — the sticking decimal point apparently over how much to allocate for Immigration and Customs Enforcement ’s detention beds. 

 “ I think the talk are stalled right nowadays, ” said Senate Appropriations Chair Richard Shelby during an appearance on Fox News Sunday. “ I ’m hoping we can get off the dime bag later today or in the morning because clock time is ticking aside, but we ’ve got some problems with the Democrats dealing with ICE, that is detaining criminals that derive into the US, and they want a cap on them. We do n’t want a cap on that. ” 

 As things stand, Democrats want to cap the number of detention beds used for interior enforcement to curb ICE ’s capacity to detain undocumented immigrants, while Republicans think this would hurt enforcement of exile policy. 

 Disagreement over the detention bed equally well as forcible barriers is now threatening to throw congressional border security talks off kilter, with the deadline just day away. In the hope of preventing a shutdown, lawmakers are also look at another short - term spending bill to tide them over until they are able to wrangle a larger compromise. 

 This is something a extra committee of House and Senate lawmakers put in place after the shutdown concluded in January is task with resolving. If the committee fails to reach a softwood by the Friday deadline or if the president is unwilling to approve the agreement reached by the committee, a portion of the government could again close down. 

 As recently as last Friday, the Trump presidency was suggesting that a closure could very well be imminent. “ We ’re on the verge of a government shutdown again, ” Trump spokesperson Hogan Gidley say. “ Because Democrats wo n’t come to the table and have a conversation about securing the country. ” 

 In the interim, Trump is scheduled to hold a rally in El Paso, Texas, on Monday evening to keep the imperativeness up on border security.
