(Central News Agency, Washington, 30th, comprehensive foreign report) The US Congress today passed funding for most operations of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ending a record-setting partial government shutdown that had hampered the operations of multiple key agencies for over two months.
According to comprehensive reports from Agence France-Presse and NBC News, after the federal Senate passed the measure, the House of Representatives also passed it, and the bill has now been sent to President Donald Trump for his signature.
The bill will provide funding for critical DHS agencies until the end of the current fiscal year on September 30.
No new funding for immigration and border enforcement was included in the bill.
The House passed the bill by voice vote at the last minute after Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned that emergency funds for payroll were about to run out.
The DHS had been in a partial shutdown since February 14, lasting 75 days, making it the longest of its kind.
Under this bill, funding for agencies such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Coast Guard, Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and Secret Service will return to normal.
However, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol, which are at the heart of fierce bipartisan disputes, were not included in the agreement.
The stalemate began when Democrats refused to support immigration enforcement funding unless new restrictions were placed on practices such as raids in sensitive locations and masked officers.
Republicans rejected these demands, insisting on fully funding the relevant agencies without additional conditions.
Now, Congress has passed the reopening of most DHS agencies, while Republicans will take separate action to seek tens of billions of dollars in funding for ICE and Border Patrol through the budget reconciliation process. This process will allow them to bypass Democrats. (Compiler: Yang Zhaoyan) 1150501
