The Senate made changes to the House-passed bipartisan package after federal agents shot and killed Alex Preddy.

They kept five funding bills in place but paused full appropriations for DHS.

Senate Democrats agreed to a deal that would fund DHS for two weeks as they negotiate reforms for agents involved in immigration raids.

However, it's not clear the House has enough bipartisan votes to approve the plan, with some Democrats saying it falls short and some Republicans saying it goes too far.

The funding plan would allow several agencies to reopen, including the Departments of Defense, Transportation, and Health and Human Services.

For now, workers for those agencies and more are either furloughed or working without pay.

Congresswoman Grijalva provided the final signature needed to force a December vote to release the files tied to the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender.

Four Republicans joined House Democrats weeks ago to sign on to the petition, which has been led by Kentucky Republican Thomas Massey and House Democrat Ro Khanna.

Now, President Trump is working to flip one or more of those Republicans to prevent the release from happening.
