The House voted Tuesday to end a nearly four-day partial government shutdown, approving spending through September for previously shuttered departments and providing 10 more days of funding for the Department of Homeland Security.
The 217-214 final vote to send the funding package to President Trump’s desk was close — but bipartisan, with 21 Republicans voting against it and just 21 Democrats voting for it. Democratic leadership voted against the package.
Trump swiftly signed the legislation Tuesday afternoon, ending the partial government shutdown, but a fight is likely to continue over the issue that triggered it: what policy reforms should be implemented for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The bipartisan vote came only after a dramatic procedural vote earlier in the day in which House Republican leaders worked to wrangle a handful of holdouts making demands on separate legislation affecting voting in elections.
