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.

US President Donald Trump signed a roughly US$1.2 trillion government funding bill Tuesday that ends the partial federal shutdown that began over the weekend and sets the stage for an intense debate in Congress over Homeland Security funding.The president moved quickly to sign the bill after the House approved it with a 217-214 vote.“This bill is a great victory for the American people,” Trump said.The vote on Tuesday wrapped up congressional work on 11 annual appropriations bills that fund government agencies and programmes through September 30.Passage of the legislation marked the endpoint for one funding fight, but the start of another.That is because the package funds the Department of Homeland Security for only two weeks, through February 13, at the behest of Democrats who are demanding more restrictions on immigration enforcement after the shooting deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal officers in Minneapolis.
