Here's what else you need to know today.

Senate Democrats reached a deal with President Trump to pass five bills funding large parts of the government while continuing to hammer out restrictions on the administration's immigration crackdown.

To avert a shutdown, Congress has to pass the spending package before a deadline of midnight on Friday.

If the agreement does hold, it would provide two weeks of funding to the Department of Homeland Security while Democrats negotiate with the White House over their demands to rein in federal immigration agents.

The deal reflected an abrupt shift on Capitol Hill after the fatal shooting of Alex Preti last weekend.

Democrats initially blocked the spending package, which includes $64 billion for DHS, saying they wouldn't fund the department unless there were limits put on the actions of immigration officers.
