U.S. Rep. Chip Roy threatens to shut down government if he can't resurrect Trump's border wall

Republican extremist U.S. Rep. Chip Roy looks to be making good on a threat from earlier this year to defund the federal government so he can force through hardline border restrictions. In comments to CBS News Monday, Roy — whose district includes parts of both San Antonio and Austin — said he's pushing for money to resurrect Donald Trump's border wall as a Sept. 30 deadline looms to continue funding federal agencies. Lawmakers coming back from the August recess have mere weeks to reach a budget compromise to avert a damaging government shutdown — something Roy hinted he'd rather see than an uncompleted border wall.
