Senate negotiators return to the Hill to continue border negotiations as the House treks to the southern border in Eagle Pass, Texas to hold a news conference.
Lead Senate negotiators James Lankford, R-Okla., Kyrsten Sinema, I-Ariz., and Chris Murphy, D-Conn., began negotiations with U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and other Biden officials a week before the upper chamber was scheduled to go on its holiday recess.

"We continue to move forward, not backward," Murphy told reporters on Friday. "We don't yet have a final agreement. And I think the nature of this agreement is going to be so complicated that we're not going to know whether we have the votes until we bring it back to our caucuses."
