Washington (Monitoring Desk) The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a Homeland Security funding bill, paving the way for an end to the 75-day partial government shutdown.
According to news agencies, the bill includes the restoration of key federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration, and aims to end nearly 11 weeks of financial deadlock.
The bill has now been sent to President Donald Trump for signature, which is expected to be signed later today.
Reports suggest that prior to this development, the Republican Party faced internal disagreements, with leadership encountering resistance from some moderate members.
The bill was passed through a voice vote in the House and does not include additional funding for federal immigration enforcement agencies, which Democrats have described as a political win.
