President Trump on Monday said he would not sign a bill that would result in the "mass release" of criminals into the U.S., potentially complicating the new deal negotiators announced on Capitol Hill, The Washington Times reports.

Mr. Trump said he hadn’t heard full details, but said he would also build his border wall no matter what the deal included.

"We’re building the wall anyway," the president said at a rally in El Paso, Texas.

He told cheering supporters he’d been told about the deal just before taking the stage at the rally, but he told aides he would wait to hear details later, saying he didn’t want to keep supporters waiting.
