Record-long Department of Homeland Security shutdown ends

The House on Thursday approved a Senate-passed bill that would fund much of the Department of Homeland Security, ending the record 75-day shutdown of the sprawling federal agency.

President Donald Trump, who had urged lawmakers to pass the bill, signed the measure into law Thursday afternoon, funding DHS agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Coast Guard, the Transportation Security Administration and the Secret Service through the end of September.
