The partial US government shutdown is on track to end later Tuesday after the House passed a funding deal President Donald Trump negotiated with Senate Democrats, overcoming opposition from both ends of the political spectrum. 

The spending package, which Trump has said he wants enacted quickly, now goes to the president for his signature. The House vote was 217 to 214.

Still, a more limited funding lapse looms since the Department of Homeland Security would only be funded through Feb. 13 while Trump negotiates with Democrats over their demands for new restraints on immigration enforcement agents. The rest of the government would be funded through the Sept. 30 end of the fiscal year.
