"Senate Democrats Clash Over Border Talks and Ukraine Aid"

Progressive Democrats are clashing with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer over ongoing negotiations to add stricter border policy provisions in the national supplemental package. Some Democratic senators are concerned that their party will make too many concessions to Republican demands for policy changes. They argue that these policies will not address border challenges and will only worsen the situation. Schumer indicated that he would rework the package to advance the proposed border provisions, but details on which provisions will be included remain unclear. Talks have been ongoing as Republicans refuse to pass additional aid to Ukraine without tying it to strict border security measures. Migrant encounters at the southern border have again exceeded 10,000 in a single day.
