President Donald Trump on Monday signed into law a short-term spending bill funding the federal government until February 8, ending a shutdown that had overshadowed the first anniversary of his presidency over the fate of undocumented immigrant brought to the US as children. The legislation was a product of a deal reached first by senators Monday morning that funded the federal government for the next three weeks — not four, as proposed by Republicans — in return for considering a legislation reinstating protection from deportation for the 700,000 undocumented immigrants.
