Republicans in Congress voted to fund the Department of Homeland Security Thursday, effectively ending the 76-day shutdown of the department.
The bill, passed by a voice vote in the House, is a win for Democrats, as it still includes no money for ICE or Border Patrol, and is now headed to President Trump’s desk to be signed into law. House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly decided to finally support the bill after a private meeting with his fellow Republican leaders earlier in the day, where they agreed that the situation couldn’t continue.
The GOP will still try to fund ICE through the reconciliation process, which takes much longer but only requires a simple majority in both chambers of Congress.
… Is Hell frozen over?
The… Dems in Congress… actually did something?
its one that dint affect things significantly, thats why it was easy win. something like another ATC would cause problems. im betting if another one like last year happened again, schumer and hakeem wouldve likely caved as well using another rotation of sacrificial dems.
