Democrats and Republicans have reached an agreement in principle over border security to fund the US government and avert another partial shutdown.The agreement contains only a fraction of the money President Donald Trump wants for his promised border wall and does not mention a concrete barrier.The deal still needs to be approved by Congress and signed by the president.Speaking later, Mr Trump did not say whether he would back it. "We're building the wall anyway."The Democrats - who now control the House of Representatives - have refused to approve the $5.7bn (£4.4bn) for Mr Trump's wall on the border with Mexico, one of his key campaign pledges.

As California authorities search for suspected cop killer, illegally in US, Trump calls for ‘Border Security’
California authorities are searching for a man who killed a small-town police officer the day after Christmas, a manhunt that prompted a tweet on Thursday from President Donald Trump. Stanislaus County Sheriff Adam Christianson said Thursday they have identified the suspect who fatally shot Newman Police Department Cpl. Ronil Singh during a traffic stop, saying the man is living illegally in the United States but not naming him. "We will relentlessly continue to hunt our suspect down and bring him to justice so that ... we can bring closure onto this community and this police department," Christianson said. “This suspect is in our country illegally.

No family members were on hand. Domingo Caal, the girl’s grandfather, told The Associated Press that the family didn’t have money to travel from their poor hamlet to Guatemala’s capital. At Domingo Caal’s home in the village of San Antonio Secortez, in the department of Alta Verapaz, relatives set up a small wooden altar flanked by vases overflowing with flowers, with photographs of Jakelin and the hand-lettered message, “We miss you.” Behind the house, … [Read more...] about Body of Jakelin Caal, who died in US Border Patrol custody, arrives in Guatemala

(CNN)Large groups of migrants who trekked across Mexico and hope to seek asylum in the United States are starting to arrive in the border city of Tijuana. Their journey has lasted more than a month. It sparked ire from US President Donald Trump and spurred a decision to deploy thousands of active-duty troops to the border. And it's far from over. Mattis fills void left by Trump's silence on military's border mission Hundreds of Central American migrants from a so-called caravan of thousands are now within walking distance of the United States. But crossing the border legally could still take them weeks, if not longer, due to bottlenecks at ports of entry that US authorities say are already at capacity and unable to process them faster. Advocates warn that the lengthy wait poses serious risks for migrants who are seeking safety and pose no threat. Officials in Mexican border cities have worried about how they'll handle the influx. And some local residents are already bristling … [Read more...] about They’re steps away from the US border. But crossing it legally could take weeks
