The U.S. House has passed partial funding of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), sending the bill to the President for an expected signing. The passage ends the 76 days of DHS shutdown.
Congress ends record-shattering DHS shutdown – Politico
EXCERPT:
On the 76th day since Department of Homeland Security funding lapsed, Congress passed a bill Thursday restoring the flow of federal dollars to most of its agencies — without solving any of the policy disagreements that led to the record-breaking shutdown.
The House approved by voice vote the partial DHS funding measure the Senate passed more than a month ago. President Donald Trump is expected to swiftly sign the bipartisan legislation, fully funding the Coast Guard, TSA, Secret Service, FEMA and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, along with other offices within DHS that don’t deal with immigration enforcement.
