Congress has passed a continuing resolution to keep the government running through Dec. 21, when funding for the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies will expire. The resolution was approved by voice vote in both the House and Senate Thursday, and it'll now go to President Trump for signature.  A partial government shutdown was set to occur if Congress could not agree on outstanding funding bills by Dec. 7, but President Trump and members of Congress agreed to extend the deadline after the death of former President George H.W. Bush.
