The latest on Senate passing funding bill ahead of possible partial shutdown

(ASSOCIATED PRESS) Democrats and the White House have struck a deal to avert a partial government shutdown and temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security as they negotiate new restrictions for President Donald Trump’s surge of immigration enforcement. As the country reels from the deaths of two protesters at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis, the two sides have agreed to separate homeland security funding from the rest of the legislation and fund DHS for two weeks while they debate Democratic demands for curbs on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The potential deal comes after Democrats voted to block legislation to fund DHS on Thursday. Trump said in a social media post that “Republicans and Democrats have come together to get the vast majority of the government funded until September,” while extending current funding for Homeland Security. The Senate could vote on the deal as soon as Thursday evening. Republican leaders who had wanted a longer extension of the Homeland funding were still checking with their conference to make sure there were no objections to the deal and it could pass quickly.
