WASHINGTON—Lawmakers who are finishing writing six annual spending bills have resolved a last-minute roadblock over border funding, setting the stage for Congress to review and approve the legislation on a tight timeline that could take them to the brink of a partial government shutdown this weekend. Congressional negotiators late Monday reached a deal on the provisions within the Department of Homeland Security’s funding bill, according to a person familiar with the agreement. One GOP aide said that the legislative text would likely be published on Wednesday, raising the possibility of a short partial shutdown over the weekend, when most of the government is already closed.
