Senate Reaches Agreement to End Shutdown Without DACA Fix

Lawmakers in the Senate reached an agreement to end the government shutdown Monday afternoon, but congressional Democrats who voted down a spending bill that would have kept the government open on Friday because it did not include a replacement for the expiring Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program appear to be right back where they started.

“The Trump shutdown will soon end,” Minority Leader Chuck Schumer before a vote on a three-week continuing resolution, “but the work must go on. And it will.”
