Bipartisan Effort Ends Homeland Security Shutdown

The Republican-dominated U.S. House of Representatives has taken decisive action to end the prolonged partial shutdown affecting Homeland Security agencies. On Thursday, lawmakers across party lines approved a crucial funding bill.

The legislation, passed through a voice vote, aims to restore operations of key agencies, including the Secret Service and Transportation Security Administration.

With this move, the measure now advances to President Donald Trump for his signature, which would officially enact it into law, ending nearly 11 weeks of operational difficulties.
