House passes bill to end the partial government shutdown, sending the measure to Trump
- On Tuesday, the House passed a roughly $1.2 trillion spending package and sent it to President Donald Trump.
- The partial shutdown began Saturday amid a dispute over Department of Homeland Security funding as Democrats demanded changes after two people were shot and killed in Minneapolis.
- After courting holdouts, House leaders secured enough Republican support to clear a key procedural vote, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., reversed her opposition after meetings with Trump and others Monday.
- The bill ends the partial shutdown and funds most federal agencies through Sept. 30, while extending Department of Homeland Security funding for two weeks through Feb. 13.
- With DHS isolated, lawmakers face challenges as the U.S. Senate split the package to allow more negotiation on Homeland Security, while Sen. Chuck Schumer warned the SAVE Act could trigger another shutdown, leaving Defense unresolved.
