US House Votes to End DHS Shutdown
US lawmakers have voted to provide funding for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effectively ending a 76-day partial government shutdown related to the agency's immigration enforcement operations.
The US House of Representatives approved a Senate-passed bill by voice vote, restoring funding to much of DHS and concluding the longest shutdown in the agency's history.
The measure, which has the support of President Donald Trump, reopens DHS operations but does not allocate new funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the US Border Patrol.
Democrats have advocated for changes to immigration enforcement operations, while Republicans are expected to seek separate funding measures for those agencies.
The bipartisan funding package will now be sent to President Trump's desk for final approval.
