DHS shutdown ends after 76 days, GOP climbdown
The US House of Representatives passed a Senate bill funding most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), except for its immigration enforcement arms, and President Donald Trump signed it, ending the 76-day partial government shutdown. DHS agencies, including the Coast Guard and FEMA, are now funded through September.
The House passed a Senate bill funding most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Thursday, and President Donald Trump signed it, ending the longest-ever partial government shutdown after 76 days. The bill funds DHS agencies, including the Coast Guard, Secret Service, FEMA, and TSA, through September. ICE and Customs and Border Protection were not affected as they were funded through a previous megabill. The House 'unanimously' approved the bill via voice vote, indicating Republicans were ready to end the impasse. If the House had waited for a reconciliation bill, DHS would have remained closed until mid-May. Republicans will try to meet Trump's June 1 deadline to pass a $70 billion ICE-CBP bill.
