Hi there, and welcome to meet the press now. I'm Ryan Nobles in Washington, where it's

Groundhog Day in the halls of Congress with Washington in the midst of another government shutdown.

Less than three months since the last funding fight, this time over Democrats' demands for reforms to ICE and border patrol

And moments ago, President Trump posting on social media, urging the House to pass his funding deal without delay, saying we cannot have another long,

pointless, and destructive shutdown.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota over the weekend, a federal judge rejected a bid by state and local officials

to temporarily halt Operation Metro surge, the Trump administration's deployment of federal agents,

but did acknowledge the, quote, profound and even heartbreaking
