Neden Önemli?
The partial government shutdown was triggered by a political dispute over immigration and border enforcement funding, specifically related to Trump's border wall. DHS has been partially closed since February 14, making it the longest funding lapse of its kind.
The US Congress on Thursday approved funding for most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ending a record-breaking partial government shutdown that has disrupted critical agencies for more than two months. The House approved the measure, already passed by the Senate, sending it to US President Donald Trump for signature. It will fund key DHS agencies through the end of the financial year on September 30. It does not include new money for immigration and border enforcement, leaving unresolved the political dispute that triggered the shutdown. The House cleared the bill by voice vote just hours before a critical deadline, after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned that emergency funds used to cover salaries would soon run dry. The department has been partially closed since February 14, making it the longest funding lapse of its kind, at 75 days. Under the legislation, agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the coastguard, the Transportation Security Administration and the Secret Service will resume normal funding.
