Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Senate Agrees To End DHS Shutdown For Most Agencies

Caption: Senate Agrees To End DHS Shutdown For Most Agencies. The U.S. Senate has approved a funding package to end the shutdown for most of the Department of Homeland Security. Republicans accepted a Democratic proposal funding all of DHS except parts of ICE and Customs and Border Protection. The measure passed by voice vote, with the House expected to act before the shutdown sets a historic record. Senate Majority Leader John Thune called the outcome “unfortunate” after failed negotiations on broader reforms. President Donald Trump moved to pay TSA agents, easing fears of a nationwide walkout during the shutdown. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said Democrats refused to fund agencies without major policy changes. The deal includes limited measures such as funding for body cameras for immigration enforcement agents. Republicans are now considering using budget reconciliation to push through tougher immigration funding and policies.
