Senate votes to fund most of government after Trump-Dems deal

The Senate has voted to fund most of the government after President Trump and Democrats struck a deal on Homeland Security. Senators passed the measure a few hours before Friday’s midnight deadline. To win passage of the bill, the president agreed to fund Homeland Security at current levels for two weeks while lawmakers debate new restrictions on federal immigration raids demanded by Democrats. Because of the change in DHS funding, the bill heads back to the House, which is not due back until Monday. So technically, part of the government is shut down temporarily this weekend, but the impact should be minimal before the House vote.
