Congress votes to end DHS shutdown after 75 days

The record-breaking shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security is over. House lawmakers voted to fund much of the DHS and bring an end to the longest agency shutdown in history. Ahead of the vote, the Trump administration had warned that temporary funds to pay Transportation Security Administration and other personnel would “soon run out” if Congress failed to act. The measure does not fund immigration enforcement operations. That funding will be handled in a different legislative vehicle.
