What to know about the partial government shutdown:
President Trump signed a massive funding bill to end the partial government shutdown on Tuesday, bringing an end to the standoff after four days with a new fight over immigration on the horizon.
The House voted earlier in the day to approve the package by a vote of 217 to 214, with 21 Republicans and 21 Democrats crossing the aisle. Getting the bill across the finish line presented some challenges earlier in the day for Speaker Mike Johnson, who ultimately convinced a handful of GOP holdouts to advance the measure for a final vote.
The legislation includes five full-year spending bills and a two-week extension of funding for the Department of Homeland Security. Democrats are demanding reforms to how immigration enforcement agencies like ICE conduct their operations, an issue that will now become the focus of negotiations on Capitol Hill.
DHS funding will expire on Feb. 14 without further action. However, immigration agencies won`t be affected by another lapse, since they received a separate influx of money last year.
