DHS funding shutdown nears end

The 74-day shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security is nearing an end after House Republicans approved a two-part budget plan.

The measure aims to provide $70 billion for immigration enforcement and deportations through the end of the Trump presidency.

House Speaker Mike Johnson united his party to pass the framework despite internal revolts over unrelated farm bill amendments.

The White House had warned that funding for TSA and other personnel was set to run out, potentially causing national security risks and airport disruptions.
