Trump approves measure to end shutdown, extend DHS funding

President Donald Trump signed a spending package on Tuesday, ending a three-day partial shutdown, after the House voted 217-214 yesterday to approve the $1.2 measure that will fund most agencies through the rest of the fiscal year.

While the bill secures federal funding through September, it excludes the Department of Homeland Security, which remains on a two-week funding limit.

Democrats demand policy changes to DHS amid the fatal shooting of two Americans by federal agents in Minneapolis.

While most Republicans oppose the demand, some have signaled openness to it.
