President Trump signed a $1.2 trillion spending bill on Tuesday, ending the recent partial government shutdown. The bill funds government agencies and programs through September 30. While this resolves one funding dispute, it initiates another concerning the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats pushed for a short-term, two-week extension of Homeland Security funding, expiring February 13, to allow for further debate on immigration enforcement restrictions. This debate was prompted by recent shooting deaths involving federal officers in Minneapolis. The House approved the bill with a 217-214 vote before it was signed into law.
