House Passes DHS Funding Bill, Ending Partial Government Shutdown

The House passed a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security on Thursday, ending a partial government shutdown that began in February. The legislation, which passed after over a month of House Republican opposition, had advanced unanimously from the Senate in late March. The White House warned emergency funding would run out by Friday, potentially causing missed paychecks for TSA agents and airport delays.
