Senate Passes Gov't Funding Deal Despite GOP Backlash

3 hours ago
The Senate has voted to fund most of the government through the end of September after President Donald Trump made a deal with Democrats to carve out Homeland Security funding and allow Congress to debate new restrictions on federal immigration raids across the country. With a weekend shutdown looming, Trump made the rare deal with Senate Democrats on Thursday in the wake of the deaths of two protesters at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis. It will now head to the House, which is not due back until Monday. That means the government could be in a partial shutdown temporarily over the weekend.
