United States senators have approved a last-minute deal to avert the worst impacts of an imminent government shutdown, after Democratic anger over the killing of two people by immigration agents derailed government funding talks.

After hours of delay, the US Senate passed the compromise spending package on Friday by a bipartisan vote of 71 to 29.
