President Donald Trump signed a roughly $1.2 trillion funding bill after the House approved it 217-214, ending the partial federal shutdown. The bill funds the Department of Homeland Security for only two weeks, setting up further negotiations over immigration enforcement.
The House vote completed congressional action on 11 annual appropriations bills funding agencies and programs through Sept. 30. The package ended the partial shutdown but funded the Department of Homeland Security only through Feb. 13. Democrats are seeking changes to immigration enforcement after federal officers fatally shot Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats would oppose further temporary Homeland Security funding without substantial changes. Speaker Mike Johnson said he expected an agreement by the deadline, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed doubt. The article says the funding package included provisions Republicans and Democrats favored, and that 21 Republicans voted against it while the same number of Democrats voted for it.
