House Passes Budget Bill To End Partial Gov't Shutdown

5 hours ago
The House has passed a bill to end the partial government shutdown cleared by a bipartisan vote under the insistence of President Donald Trump. The measure passed in a final vote Tuesday afternoon funds most of the federal government through Sept. 30, while providing the Department of Homeland Security with short-term funding for two weeks. Lawmakers will return to negotiate potential changes for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as Democrats demand more restrictions on its operations. Trump has said he will sign the bill when it reaches his desk.
