U.S. Senate passes short‑term funding bill

The Senate cleared a temporary appropriations bill that funds federal operations until the first week of December, averting a government shutdown.

The legislation also contains provisions that reject a proposal from the Trump administration to reallocate resources from Border Patrol to other agencies, preserving current immigration‑enforcement funding levels.

Lawmakers from both parties praised the bipartisan effort, though negotiations over longer‑term budget priorities continue.
