Former President Donald Trump on Monday sharply criticized the new proposed Senate border deal as “horrendous,” objecting to a provision that gives border-shutdown authority only after an average of 4,000 to 5,000 encounters with illegal immigrants per day.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, on Sunday released the text of the Senate’s bipartisan $118 billion national security supplemental package.
