WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats have a deal to fund most of the government for the rest of the year.

A partial government shutdown is expected this weekend as Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., blocks the Senate's passage of Trump-backed funding package, calling it a "bad deal."

The funding deal addresses concerns Democrats have about funding the Department of Homeland Security because of enforcement actions in Minnesota.

The deal would separate DHS funding from bills funding other agencies, Dems say.

Congress failed to pass a new funding deal in time, triggering the second partial government shutdown in six months as federal agencies prepare for potential closure.

The pressure now moves to the House, which is in recess, as the government enters at least a limited funding lapse.

The US is facing its second government shutdown this week within six months, but despite efforts, a deal could easily fall through the cracks. The Senate could just manage to narrowly avoid the shutdown as the chamber has come into session right now (11am Eastern Time) in the United States after Sen.
