Senate Democrats and the White House reached a deal Thursday to avoid a partial government shutdown, agreeing to temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security while the two sides negotiate over its long-term funding following the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.
DHS will be funded for the next two weeks as Democrats seek restrictions on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown and widespread use of federal agents in American communities.
“Hopefully, both Republicans and Democrats will give a very much needed Bipartisan ‘YES’ Vote,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Thursday.
