Meantime, Democratic leaders plan to push the White House to protect Dreamers in a Capitol Hill meeting over an unrelated spending deal on Wednesday, a sign that they may push back harder against other Trump priorities until the issue is resolved.

The White House would prefer to deal with just the spending issue, characterizing the Wednesday meeting with legislative director Marc Short and budget director Mick Mulvaney as a discussion only on that subject. But Democrats are looking to use the opportunity to lay out their demands. In a “Dear Colleague” letter sent Tuesday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi listed funding to address the opioid epidemic, pensions, disaster relief, veterans, the Children’s Health Insurance program and the passage of the Dream Act to protect the undocumented among their priorities.

“We are firmly committed to swiftly passing the DREAM Act, which we know would pass with bipartisan support if brought to the Floor,” the letter reads.

Bipartisan negotiations on a deal are still ongoing. A Democratic aide tells TIME that Senators hope to reach a deal to pass the Dream Act as soon as possible

I will vote for him if he signs it (and then change my mind the next day). Oh I can't even vote, not for another 8-10 years or so.

House Freedom Caucus Chair Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) to @chucktodd on a potential DACA deal: "We’ve actually been working behind the scenes not only with members but with the White House as well." But adds the wall “has not been taken off the table."
