Senate Democrats said Thursday they have struck an agreement to move forward with a package of bills to avert a partial government shutdown.
The agreement will see the Department of Homeland Security funding bill separated from a package of five other bills. Programs funded by the five-bill package will be funded until the end of September. DHS will be funded for two additional weeks to allow lawmakers to negotiate on other provisions in the package.
