President Donald Trump on Thursday said he would “permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries” as he continues to use a Washington, D.C., shooting to intensify his crackdown on immigration.One National Guard member has since died of her injuries and another remains in critical condition as of Sunday.Authorities said Wednesday’s attack was carried out by an Afghan national. He entered the country legally under a resettlement program implemented by former President Joe Biden in 2021 but was granted asylum this year under the Trump administration, according to Reuters.The Trump administration has since vowed to reexamine all asylum cases approved during the Biden years and green cards issued to citizens of 19 countries listed in a travel ban Trump rolled out in June.Follow live updates below:Senate Eyes Possible Deal To Reopen Federal GovernmentThe U.S. Senate is hoping to advance a bill as early as Sunday that would reopen the federal government after an unprecedented 40-day stalemate over government funding and health care, multiple sources told HuffPost.The emerging deal would give Democrats a future vote in the Senate on extending enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies — far short of their demands for a guaranteed extension of the subsidies into next year. It would require 60 votes to advance in the Senate and at least 13 GOP senators to cross the aisle in support of Obamacare. That’s not impossible, but very unlikely given President Donald Trump’s call over the weekend to end the subsidies entirely.Senate Democrats are expected to discuss the possible deal in a closed-door meeting on Sunday afternoon. Republicans need at least 8 Democrats to vote for the bill to reopen the government — and it’s clear that a group of moderate Senate Democrats have been trying to find a way out of the shutdown for the last several weeks.Even if the Senate is able to pass the bill, it must also be approved by the GOP-controlled House, which has been out of session since September. Members of the House would need to return to Washington amid nationwide flight delays and cancellations due to the government shutdown, meaning the shutdown wouldn’t end for several more days, at least.See All UpdatesClose
