The 2017 Omnibus hasn’t even been introduced in the House yet. No bill number, just action out of the Committee.
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2017 - all 1665 pages, 2.9Mb pdf file

I’ve half-assed searched for the prohibition asserted by the OP. Maybe it’s in there, I don’t know. Page 739 allocates $341,200,000 to replace approximately 40 miles of border fence

From the article a hypertext link to Washington times article with the link below.

Meanwhile, Trump’s actual proposed first budget, which will be for fiscal 2018, calls specifically for $2.6 billion for a “physical wall”. I’ll wait and panic when Trump surrenders on his own actual proposal.

See Page 23:

So, out of all those citations, only the WaPo article (by James Hohmann) makes the claim that ...

There are explicit restrictions to block the border wall. We knew last week there would be no money to start construction on a project that the president says is more important to his base than anything else. But the final agreement goes further, putting strict limitations on how Trump can use new money for border security (e.g. to invest in new technology and repair existing fencing)

It's Washington Post. Of course it is misleading (at best).
