In a bold move, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer cancelled part of the Senate's holiday break to negotiate a deal on funding for both Ukraine and Israel. Despite Republicans desiring this funding too, they insist on additional security measures at the border before any agreement.

It has been hinted that President Biden may be contemplating a stringent immigration policy, delineating new regulations for asylum, and revisiting the Title 42 fix, which could result in sending many across the border back.
