House approves bill to fund DHS to end record-setting government shutdown
The House approved a bill to fund the majority of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), excluding its immigration enforcement operations, ending the longest agency shutdown in American history. The bill will now be sent to President Donald Trump's desk for his signature.
The House on Thursday approved funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), excluding immigration enforcement operations. The move ends the longest agency shutdown in US history. DHS has been without regular funding since February 14, causing hardships for employees. The White House had warned that temporary funding for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers was running out, raising concerns about potential airport disruptions. The bill was passed by voice vote and had previously been approved unanimously by the Senate a month ago. The House had struggled to move the bill forward due to internal party divisions.
