Senate approves funding deal for most of DHS, ending shutdown – US politics live | Trump administration
The Senate approved funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ending a budget standoff that had caused airport security staff to work without pay. Senator Chuck Schumer criticized the delay as "intransigent" and vowed to continue fighting against further funding for Trump's immigration operation until reforms are implemented. Republican Senator Susan Collins criticized the Democrats for damaging the annual funding process and weakening national security. The House of Representatives must still approve the funding package before agencies can reopen.
