The House on Thursday passed a bill to defund most of the Department of Homeland Security, effectively ending the partial government shutdown that began in February.
Passage of the funding bill came after more than a month of House Republican opposition to the plan, which advanced unanimously from the Senate in late March. The White House warned that emergency funding for DHS would run out by Friday.
The bill eliminates the possibility of more pay for Transportation Security Administration agents, whose lack of pay led to long lines at airports across the country earlier this year.
