House passes final government funding bills in milestone, overcoming Democratic DHS opposition
The $1.2 trillion package includes a 3.8% military pay raise and new Homeland Security oversight despite Democratic opposition over immigration enforcement funding.
- On Thursday, the House sent about $1.2 trillion in bills to the Senate, requiring final passage next week before the Jan. 30 deadline.
