WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats and the White House struck a deal to avert a partial government shutdown and temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security as they consider new restrictions for President Donald Trump’s surge of immigration enforcement.
That shutdown ended when a small group of moderate Democrats broke away to strike a deal with Republicans, but Democrats are more unified this time after the fatal shootings of Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents.
Still far apart on policyNegotiations down the road on a final agreement on the Homeland Security bill are likely to be difficult.
House Republicans have said they do not want any changes to the bill they passed last week.
“The package will not come back through the House without funding for the Department of Homeland Security,” they wrote.
