Trump signs bill ending federal government shutdown

Trump signs bill ending federal government shutdown

The bill provides funding for the departments of Defense, Treasury, State, Health and Human Services, Labor, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, and Education through the remainder of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.

It also provides two weeks of stopgap funding for the Department of Homeland Security after the Senate stripped full-year funding for the agency in response to the killings of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration officers.

Now, Congress and the White House will turn to thorny negotiations over new guardrails on immigration enforcement in the DHS funding bill. Democrats insisted on separating out the DHS measure following enforcement actions in Minneapolis.
