President Trump has signed a bill to end a partial government shutdown after the funding legislation was held up by lawmakers over the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) immigration recent enforcement efforts.
The bill funds DHS for the next 10 days, with a new deadline set for that agency’s funding to expire on Feb. 13 as Democrats demand for increased oversight of Trump’s Immigration Customs Enforcement and Border Protection.
Surrounded by a swath of Senate and House Republicans, including Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), Trump lauded the bill’s passage, which also includes funding until Sept. 30 for the departments of Energy, Defense, Treasury, State, Labor, Transportation, Heath and Human Services, Education and funding to the judicial branch and independent agencies.
