Washington: Republicans and Democrats voted for a temporary funding bill that has ended the partial shutdown of the US government, reports said.
The Democratic leadership agreed to back the bill after accepting promises from Republicans for a debate later on the future of young illegal immigrants, BBC reported.
US president Donald Trump has signed the bill on Monday.
The Democrats are turning down services and security for citizens in favor of services and security for non-citizens. Not good!

Attacking the Democrats, Trump tweeted: "The Democrats are turning down services and security for citizens in favor of services and security for non-citizens. Not good!."
He said: "Democrats have shut down our government in the interests of their far left base. They don’t want to do it but are powerless!"
As the Senate failed to agree on a new budget, the US government on Saturday commenced the move of shutting down many of its services.
Amid disputes over the issues of immigration and border security, a bill to fund the federal government until Feb 16 failed to receive the required 60 votes.
