Democrats advanced a Homeland Security spending bill on Wednesday that included no money for President Trump’s border wall, an action one Republican suggested could lead to another government shutdown.

“No funding is provided for the border wall or additional border barriers, and a provision is included prohibiting the use of any federal funds other than funds explicitly appropriated by Congress for that purpose in prior years," said Rep Lucille Roybal-Allard (D-Calif.), who chairs the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security.

Rep. Chuck Fleishmann (R-Tenn.), the ranking member of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security, said the bill had not chance of becoming law without money for the wall.
