US Senate agrees to fund heimatschutz, except ICE and Border Patrol gangs, in bid to end 40-day shutdown

Source: NBC News

“The Senate agreed unanimously early Friday to reopen the Department of Homeland Security after a 40-day shutdown, but without funding for immigration enforcement and deportation operations. Senators approved the package at 2:20 a.m by voice vote after a marathon session, which followed arduous bipartisan negotiations that occurred in fits and starts over the last six weeks. The measure is expected to have President Donald Trump’s support but faces an uncertain future in the House. … Trump announced Thursday that he would sign an order to pay Transportation Security Administration officers who have gone without paychecks during the funding lapse at the Department of Homeland Security. … The House is set to hold an unrelated vote at 10:00am before leaving for recess.” (03/27/26)
