Senate Approves Funding for Most of DHS

“Senate Republicans and Democrats agreed early Friday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, moving to end a standoff over immigration enforcement in Congress that had led to missed paychecks for airport-security workers and long lines for travelers,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Shortly after 2 a.m., senators agreed by unanimous consent to approve legislation to fund all of DHS through the end of the fiscal year—except for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol. The measure would provide funding for an assortment of programs, including the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.”
