DHS Funding Bill Signed, Ending 11-Week Shutdown

President Trump signed legislation funding the Department of Homeland Security, ending an 11-week partial government shutdown. The bill funds most DHS agencies including the Secret Service, Coast Guard, TSA, and FEMA, with the exception of immigration enforcement agencies which Republicans plan to address separately. The shutdown's end restores full operations across critical homeland security functions.
