[U.S. House Passes Funding Bill, 76-Day Homeland Security Shutdown Set to End] Jin10 News, May 1 – On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill approved by the Senate to fund most departments of the Department of Homeland Security. This move will soon bring an end to the 76-day partial shutdown, during which many critical agencies have struggled to maintain operations and pay employees. The bill was passed by voice vote and is now being sent to President Trump for signing into law. Once the president signs the bill, the Homeland Security shutdown will officially end. The department has been shut down since February 14, marking the longest partial government shutdown in U.S. history. Democrats opposed funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Border Patrol, two agencies under the Department of Homeland Security that have been at the forefront of enforcing Trump's immigration policies.
