Senators Chase Deal To End Partial Government Shutdown

WASHINGTON (AP) — Travel disruptions have deepened as senators are racing to salvage a proposal to end the Homeland Security shutdown. Democrats have refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security unless it made changes to its immigration and deportation operations. But unpaid Transportation Security Administration workers are failing to show up for shifts and at least 458 have quit altogether. Asked about the emerging plan Tuesday, President Donald Trump says he’s not happy with any deal. The deal would impose some but not all of the restraints Democrats have demanded on immigration operations. Senate Majority Leader John Thune says it’s time to end the standoff.
