According to NBC News on January 30th, five sources revealed that President Trump and Senate Democrats struck a deal Thursday aimed at averting a shutdown for most federal agencies. This agreement, many believe, was designed to ease mounting tensions surrounding the Department of Homeland Security and ICE. The funding battle had intensified following an incident where two Americans were shot by law enforcement in Minneapolis. While some agency funding technically expires at 12:01 AM Saturday, the practical impact should remain minimal—after all, most federal workers are off during weekends. The Senate could vote on this funding package as early as Thursday night; subsequently, the House reconvenes Monday to pass it before forwarding the bill to Trump for his signature.
PANews reported on January 30th, citing NBC News, that five sources familiar with the matter revealed that US President Trump and Senate Democrats reached an agreement on Thursday to avoid a prolonged shutdown of most federal government departments. This move aims to ease the intense battle surrounding the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This funding dispute reached a fever pitch after two US citizens were shot and killed by law enforcement officers in Minneapolis. While funding for several agencies will be temporarily suspended starting at 00:01 local time on Saturday, the impact is expected to be minimal, as most federal employees do not work over the weekend. The Senate may vote on the appropriations agreement as early as Thursday evening. The House of Representatives will return to Washington on Monday, where it will need to pass the bill and send it to President Trump for his signature.
