Government shutdown averted after Congress votes to extend funding for two weeks

The US Congress has voted averted a government shutdown for now - but an immigration fight still looms as Democrats demand a permanent fix to protect young undocumented immigrants - so-called “Dreamers”. The House of Representatives and Senate have voted to extend government funding - which was set to run out on Friday - for another two weeks, setting up a potential showdown over controversial issues such as immigration later this month. Multiple Democratic senators have suggested they won't vote for any long-term government funding bill unless it also includes a permanent fix for so called Dreamers.
