WASHINGTON (AP) — The government shutdown is poised to become the longest ever this week as the impasse between Democrats and Republicans has dragged into a new month. President Donald Trump says he “won’t be extorted” by Democrats to reopen the government, making clear that he has no plans to negotiate. In an interview aired Sunday on CBS’s “60 Minutes,” Trump predicted that Democrats will eventually capitulate to Republicans. Trump’s comments signal that the shutdown could continue to drag on as federal workers, including air traffic controllers, are set to miss additional paychecks and as there is uncertainty over whether 42 million Americans who received federal food aid will be able to access the assistance.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — A federal judge in Oregon has once again barred President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard to Portland, Oregon until at least Friday. Trump appointee U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut issued the ruling Sunday after a three-day trial and says she will issue a final ruling on Friday. Both sides argued over whether protests at the city’s U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement building met the conditions set out by Congress for using the military domestically. Immergut says she found “no credible evidence” that protests grew out of control in Portland before Trump federalized the troops.
