Senate Democrats Delay Holiday Break to Continue Border Security Negotiations

Senate Democrats announced they will delay their holiday break and remain in session next week to continue negotiations on a border security deal that could help unlock further military aid to Ukraine. Senators from both parties reported some progress in negotiations over proposals like increased border detention of migrants and expedited removals that would allow faster deportations. Some Democratic lawmakers oppose stricter border policies, and it's unclear if the House would take up the bill given Republican leaders have already departed Washington for the year.
