Summary
President Donald Trump has signed legislation ending the partial government shutdown that started on Friday. The legislation funds agencies, including the Departments of State, Treasury, and War, through the end of September, but only funds the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through February 13. The shutdown occurred due to disagreements over DHS funding, which Democrats opposed in response to Trump’s immigration efforts in Minneapolis.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Senate passed a compromise spending measure, but the House was out of session, causing a partial government shutdown. The House later passed the compromise deal by a narrow margin. Trump signed the legislation, ending the shutdown. The DHS will need to be funded again by February 13. The cycle of funding and disagreement continues, with the same issues resurfacing in the next phase.
