President Trump signed a funding bill that ended the partial government shutdown, after the House passed it 217-214. The measure funds Homeland Security for only two weeks, setting up another fight over immigration enforcement.
The House passed a roughly $1.2 trillion government funding bill 217-214, and Trump signed it Tuesday, ending the partial shutdown. The package funds most of the government through Sept. 30 but provides only two weeks of funding for Homeland Security, through Feb. 13.
Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats would oppose further temporary Homeland Security funding without substantial changes to immigration operations. Speaker Mike Johnson said he expected an agreement, while Senate Majority Leader John Thune sounded less optimistic. The article says the bill included priorities for both parties and that 21 Republicans and 21 Democrats voted against it.
