According to the latest information provided by the WorldWay Immigration Group's customer service center in Los Angeles, on January 22, local time, both the Senate and the House of Representatives passed a three-week temporary funding bill with votes of 81 to 18 and 266 to 150, respectively, keeping the government open until February 8. The latest bill will be sent to President Trump for signing.
As a result, the U.S. government will end the shutdown and conclude the three-day government "closure" crisis. This also means that the EB-5 Regional Center Program will be extended until February 8.
The Senate was able to end the government shutdown stalemate because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell assured Democrats that the Senate would consider a series of immigration issues, including addressing the plight of hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children.

The standoff between the Republican and Democratic parties over immigration issues led to the government shutdown. The Obama administration had implemented the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, which deferred the deportation of these so-called "Dreamers," allowing them to study and work in the U.S., but Trump abolished the DACA program.
After the Senate reached an agreement, White House spokesperson Sarah Sanders read Trump's statement: "I am pleased that Congressional Democrats have finally come to their senses and agreed to fund our great military, border patrol, emergency responders, and insurance programs for vulnerable children. As I have always said, once the government is funded, my administration will work to address the unfair issue of illegal immigration. We will reach a long-term agreement on immigration, but it must be beneficial to our country."
