The House narrowly passed a spending package by a 217-214 vote, reopening the government through the rest of the fiscal year and passing a two-week continuing resolution to fund the Department of Homeland Security.
The measure was the product of a last minute deal in the Senate last week to avoid a broader shutdown. Democrats objected to fully funding DHS in the wake of recent fatal shootings involving immigration agents in Minneapolis. The $1.2 trillion package funds the Pentagon, the Departments of Labor, Treasury, Health and Human Services, Education, State and more through the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. The legislation combines five full-year funding bills with the two-week extension of DHS.
Vote results
The bill extends current DHS funding levels for two weeks to allow talks over new accountability requirements for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other enforcement agencies. Lawmakers will negotiate new oversight policies for immigration agents — the result of a deal struck between Senate Democrats and the White House after immigration officials shot and killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis last month.
