On January 30, Trump reached an agreement with Senate Democrats to avoid a government shutdown and resolve disputes over homeland security and immigration enforcement. Although funding will be interrupted on Saturdays, most federal employees will not work on weekends, with less impact. The Senate is expected to vote on Thursday, and the House of Representatives will consider the bill on Monday.

On January 30, five people familiar with the matter revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump and Senate Democrats reached an agreement on Thursday to avoid a prolonged shutdown of most branches of the federal government and ease the intense battle around the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Two U.S. citizens were shot and killed by law enforcement officers in Minneapolis, leading to a fever-hot phase of the funding struggle. While funding for multiple agencies will be temporarily suspended starting at 00:01 a.m. local time on Saturday, the impact is expected to be minimal as most federal employees do not work on weekends. The Senate could vote on the appropriations deal as early as Thursday evening. The House of Representatives will return to Washington on Monday, when the bill needs to be passed and sent to President Trump for signature.
