The Republican-controlled US Congress on Thursday passed a short-term funding bill to keep the federal government running for four more weeks, averting a shutdown crisis.
The Senate voted 66 to 32 for the four-week extension, a few hours after the House of Representatives passed the same bill.
Some Democratic senators opposed the measure because it did not address the fate of hundreds of thousands of young immigrants who came to the United States as children, whose status has been thrown into doubt by President Donald Trump.
