Exclusive: Trump plans shutdown compromise
Officials say Jared Kushner and Mike Pence have led the crafting of this deal. The offer is expected to include Trump’s $5.7 billion demand for wall money in exchange for the BRIDGE Act — which would extend protections for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) — and also legislation to extend the legal status of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders, according to a source with direct knowledge.

DHS senior officials made clear on a press call that while the Trump administration has the discretion to extend TPS, it expects current Haitian TPS holders to resolve their affairs, to obtain travel documentation so that they could prepare to permanently move back to Haiti in six months. But on the exact same day, the State Department issued an alarming travel warning cautioning U.S. citizens to consider the risks of traveling, due to its current security environment and lack of adequate medical facilities and response, especially in the areas of Petionville and the storm-damaged southern peninsula departments of Grand Anse and Sud.
