LAWMAKERS REACH 'AGREEMENT IN PRINCIPLE' IN BORDERS SECURITY TALKS: Congressional negotiators revealed Monday evening that they've reached an "agreement in principle" on border security funding that includes more than $1.3 billion for physical barriers along the U.S.-Mexico border ... Sources tell Fox News the $1.3 billion can be used only for new construction that would cover approximately 55 miles of border territory in the Rio Grande Valley.
Lawmakers have until 11:59 p.m. Friday to get the agreement through both houses of Congress and signed by Trump before several Cabinet-level departments shut down and hundreds of thousands of federal workers are furloughed in what would be the second partial government shutdown this year.
