US shutdown talks stall ahead of deadline

There is still a big possibility to come to a another shutdown, the talks between the democrats and republicans stall last Friday, without reaching a decision.

This was caused because the Democrats wants the ICE to be focused on detaining inmigrants who have criminal records in the US, instead of focusing on detainign those who have expirated visas.

Also the negotiators were trying to find funding for the wall, but reach  bit short on the demands of the President only reaching 1.3 to 2 billion, very far away from the 5.7 billions  the President is asking for to be funded.

The possibility of another shutdown still looms around, and it could cause that several federal agencies  closed due to no influx of money, afecting more than 8,000 federal employs that won't receive their paychecks again.
