The Senate reached a deal early this morning that would fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, a sign of progress toward ending the department's shutdown. The bill will now head to the House of Representatives, where it could get a vote as soon as today.
The package does not include funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, exactly what Democrats have been calling for, though it also doesn't include the changes to ICE's enforcement practices that Democrats wanted.
The agreement comes as the partial government shutdown forces Transportation Security Administration agents to work without pay, causing long security lines at airports. Trump said yesterday that he would bypass Congress and issue an executive order to "immediately" pay TSA workers.
