2-"The deal includes $1.375 billion for 55 miles of fences along the border, compared with $5.7 billion Trump had sought for more than 200 miles of walls. The deal omits a strict new cap Democrats had sought on immigrants detained within the United States — as opposed to at the

3-"border. At the same time, it limits overall levels of detention beds maintained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, although GOP aides said ICE would have enough money and flexibility to maintain its current detention levels and add more when needed.

4-"To avert a shutdown, the deal needs to be written into final legislation, passed by both the House and Senate, and signed into law by the president. White House officials were reviewing the terms of the deal, and Shelby said he was hopeful Trump would be supportive.

5-"But details of the compromise disclosed late Monday quickly came under fire from conservatives, raising the prospect of a backlash from the right that could ultimately render it unacceptable to Trump. Fox News host Sean Hannity, a Trump confidant,

6-"immediately called the shutdown deal a “garbage compromise.” Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), a leader of the conservative House Freedom Caucus who talks regularly with Trump, said that it fails to address serious threats. “This does not represent a fraction of what the president

7-"has promised the American people,” Meadows said in a text message. “I don’t speak for the president but I can’t imagine he will be applauding something so lacking.” During a Tuesday morning television appearance, Lowey dismissed the criticism from conservative commentators.."

8-"At a rally in El Paso on Monday night, Trump told a crowd of supporters that he was briefed on the conference committee’s progress as he was walking onstage. “Just so you know — we’re building the wall anyway,” Trump declared to the audience.

9-"The president has readied a plan to declare a national emergency on the southern border, which he believes will allow him to redirect taxpayer money from other projects to build parts of a wall — without approval from Congress. Democrats are all but certain to mount a

10-"legal challenge to this approach, and many Republicans also oppose it. The president cast the Democratic proposal on detention beds as a dangerous idea...And Trump defended the ­record-long 35-day government shutdown that ended late last month —

11-"even though polling suggests voters largely blamed him for the impasse. “If we didn’t do that shutdown, we would not have been able to show this country, these politicians, the world, what the hell is happening with the border. That was a very important thing we did,”

12-"The reaction from his conservative allies left the ultimate outcome in doubt, but negotiators said that with the president’s assent, there would be time for the legislation to pass the House and Senate and be signed ahead of the Friday midnight deadline when large portions

13-"of the government, including the DHS will run out of funding and begin to shut down. Negotiators said the deal would fund all government operations through the end of September, potentially removing any more shutdown threats for the remainder of the fiscal year."
