President Donald Trump signed a funding package that ended a partial government shutdown and temporarily funded the Department of Homeland Security. The two-week stopgap sets up negotiations over changes to immigration enforcement.
Trump said the package would cut wasteful spending while supporting critical programs. The House approved it 217-214, and the Senate had approved it 71-29. The package provides two more weeks of funding for Homeland Security while extending full-year funding for several other departments.
