New Delhi, Jan. 30 -- US President Donald Trump and Democrats reportedly struck a deal to avert a partial government shutdown and temporarily fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as they negotiate new restrictions for Trump 's surge of immigration enforcement.

The development came as the deaths of two protesters at the hands of federal agents in Minneapolis sparked a major uproar.

According to Bloomberg, the two sides agreed to separate homeland security funding from the rest of the legislation and fund DHS for two weeks while they debate Democratic demands for curbs on the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency.

The potential deal came after Democrats voted to block legislation to fund DHS on Thursday.
