The House of Representatives has passed a funding measure to resume funding for the Department of Homeland Security, excluding ICE and CBP, ending an 11-week partial government shutdown. President Trump signed the bill into law after initially opposing it. The shutdown had left federal workers without pay, causing disruptions in services like TSA and FEMA.
