After a two-day impasse, enough Senate Democrats agreed to pass a short-term continuing budget resolution Monday, the first step to ending a government shutdown that began early Saturday morning. The measure passed overwhelmingly, with just 18 senators, mostly Democrats, opposing. The House of Representatives, which had passed a different CR last week, subsequently passed the Senate’s version Monday, which will extend government funding into February.

It was a defeat for Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, who last week had blocked the House’s original CR and precipitated the shutdown. The Democratic objection was over the resolution’s inaction on the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, created by President Obama through an executive action to offer protection against deportation to those who had been brought illegally into the United States as minors. The current administration is ending the program, though President Trump has repeatedly said he’d like to see a legislative solution to the problem—as long as sufficient border security measures and funding for a southern border wall were included.
