Shutdown and Immigration: Trump Promises

US President Donald Trump is due to make a "major announcement" on Saturday over the federal government's budget holdup for nearly a month, in a context of extreme political division around his proposed anti-migrant wall on the Mexican border.
"I will make a major announcement about the humanitarian crisis on our southern border, and the shutdown tomorrow afternoon at 15:00, live from the White House," tweeted early Friday evening the Republican president, without further details.
Saturday morning, he said in the gardens of the White House that this intervention would concern the caravans of migrants from Central America trying to enter the United States, in which according to Mr. Trump there would be many criminals.
On Friday night, he posted a video on Twitter stressing the need for the United States to "secure" its southern border.
