Senate passes funding deal ahead of partial shutdown

The Senate passed a White House-brokered funding deal on Friday evening, teeing up a House vote for early next week as Washington barrels toward a brief government shutdown.

The legislation, which cleared the Senate’s filibuster in a 71-29 vote, marks a major breakthrough for Congress, as it addresses some of the thorniest spending bills for the remainder of the fiscal year. But as part of the deal, Democrats agreed to a two-week extension for the Department of Homeland Security to buy more time for a compromise on immigration enforcement.
