The White House turned down a Monday morning meeting with a bipartisan group of senators who have been negotiating an end to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, according to three people granted anonymity to disclose private discussions.
“Hopefully, a meeting gets set soon once Senate Republicans and the White House get on the same page. This comes as there’s been some positive headway in talks, particularly on body-worn cameras, sensitive locations, officer IDs, and training standards, with conversations continuing on masks, warrants, and use of force standards,” one of the people said.
Senators had hoped to meet Monday with Trump’s border czar Tom Homan morning after a Saturday meeting was canceled by Democrats.
