January 10th, 2019
President Trump just departed McAllen, Tx, where he met with border patrol agents and talked about border security. He is returning now to Washington, DC, as negotiations to reopen parts
of the federal government continue. (Democratic lawmakers and Trump are
at an impasse over funding for his long-promised border.)
Also today on January 10th, 2019, federal employees held a rally in Washington, D.C. to end the shutdown.
The government has been shut down for 20 days.
A total of 800,000 federal employees have been furloughed or working
without pay since December 21st, 2018, and won't receive their next paychecks
until the government reopens.
