Democrats and Republicans have agreed to a deal which will end the US government shutdown.
The government partially shut down on Friday after a funding deadline ran out because the two parties had failed to agree on a deal.
On Monday afternoon Democratic senators announced they have agreed to a deal with the Republicans which paves the way to reopen the federal government.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, the party's most senior senator, announced that the party would vote to advance a plan to reopen the government.

Let me guess: Republicans agreeing with Democrats (I.e. Rolling over)?
The ‘Rats got nothing. Major victory for the President and the GOP.
No, they will fund the gov’t for three weeks so they can get an amnesty bill through the Senate.
They will still fail to get that amnesty through the House.
I hope.
Article says opposite.
Let them take up the bill as a face saving gesture to the Democrats as long as they did not agree to pass it.
No good can come from this.
You mean Democrats and Democrats-lite have reached an agreement?
Schumer blinked!
This statement is ringing big-time alarm bells:
Schumer: “We expect that a bipartisan bill on DACA will receive fair consideration and an up or down vote on the floor.
This leads me to believe that the fix is in. Graham has enough co-traitors in the Republican caucus who will vote with the democrats for clean DACA amnesty without any of the immigration system fixes or new security measures that we absolutely have to have to save this country.
NO actually for once the Republicans showed a BACKBONE or that is the consensus that Im seeing on twitter(Brit Hume) said that the Dems get NOTHING..and that Republicans and President Trump won this round..Dems must have seen internal polling that showed them this was a loser for them
The Miami media is pretending the Democrats have won. BULLCRAP.
They BLINKED. Even Marco Rubio has said the DemonRat senators have NO BILL ON DACA.
The liberal reporter I saw in Miami is now using this line: The Democrats really WEREN’T just protesting for illegal aliens! Oh noooo....they had OTHER problems with the bill....
But everyone with a functioning brain knows that is SPIN.
Not rolling over. They got promises, promises, thats all.
Yes. Trump said he supports protecting the 800,000 DACA recipients but will not sign anything that doesn’t put an end to chain migration and the visa lottery AND we get the wall. Getting rid of chain migration and getting the wall will stop another DACA from coming up, he hopes.
So you think Trump wouldn’t veto it?
And how is it gonna get by the house?
Schumer realized that the polling was going seriously badly for the Dems.
“What if they held a war and nobody came?”
“What if they held a vote and everybody voted no?”
