The Trump administration’s post also gave a public nudge to those in Congress, saying “it is time to negotiate and address the humanitarian crisis on our border once and for all.”
Because of the President’s actions, Federal workers will be paid in the coming days.
To the public servants who have worked without pay and been furloughed, we thank you. To Congress, it is time to negotiate and address the humanitarian crisis on our border once and for all.
