Democrats were expected to release their plan to bolster border security without new wall construction. The proposal is expected to call for enhanced surveillance technologies and reinforcement of existing border infrastructure.

Pelosi said she is not in discussions with the White House about reopening agencies affected by the shutdown, which is now in its 35th day.

"There are discussions on the Senate side," Pelosi said. "We’ll see what happens today, one step at a time."
