WASHINGTON _ A host of government agencies were to shut down at midnight, sidelining hundreds of thousands of federal workers as Congress and the White House remained deadlocked over President Donald Trump's desire to build a wall along the Mexican border.
House lawmakers left the Capitol Friday night without an agreement to keep nine Cabinet departments and several smaller agencies running. The House plans to return at noon Saturday.
Senate Republicans said Friday they didn't have the votes for a House-passed measure that includes the additional $5.7 billion for border security that Trump wants.
