Talks to avert shutdown break down over detention policies -senator

Lawmakers' talks on border security issues to avert another U.S. government shutdown have broken down over immigration detention policies, a Republican senator said on Sunday.

"Talks are stalled right now," Republican Senator Richard Shelby told "Fox News Sunday" after a dispute over immigrant detentions. He said he hoped negotiators would return to the table soon. (Reporting by Doina Chiacu and Howard Schneider; Editing by Jeffrey Benkoe)
