Congress leaves out DACA fix from budget deal, government reopened
It was a long night for Congress. Congress reopened the federal government after a few hour shutdown:
“House Democrats, after threatening to bring the bill down because it did not protect young undocumented immigrants, gave Speaker Paul D. Ryan the votes he didn’t have in his own party and ensured passage. In the end, 73 House Democrats voted yes to more than offset the 67 Republicans who voted no.
Mr. Ryan, in turn, said he would give Democrats the immigration debate they demanded — though he did not make that promise formal, as their leaders had wanted.”
