The House voted 217 to 214 to pass a funding measure, and Donald Trump signed it, ending a partial government shutdown. The measure funds most agencies through September 30 but gives the Department of Homeland Security only two weeks of funding, setting up another debate over immigration operations.
The House passed the funding measure 217 to 214, with members of both parties splitting their votes. Trump signed it Tuesday and called it “a great victory for the American people.” Most agencies are funded through September 30, while the Department of Homeland Security is funded only through February 13.
House Speaker Mike Johnson said he expected negotiators to reach an agreement before the deadline. Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats would not support further temporary DHS funding without significant changes to the department’s immigration operations; Senate Majority Leader John Thune sounded less optimistic about a deal.
