Trump Funding Deal Passes Senate as Short US Shutdown Looms

The Senate late Friday passed a government spending package aimed at averting a long US government shutdown as the White House continues to negotiate with Democrats on placing new limits on immigration raids that have provoked a national outcry.

Several government agencies are still headed for at least a short lapse in funding, with House Speaker Mike Johnson not planning to hold a vote on the legislation until Monday. Funding for those agencies — which include the Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security, Transportation, Health and Human Services and Labor Departments — expires at midnight.
