US House of Representatives approves Homeland Security funding bill

Washington (Web Desk): The US House of Representatives has passed a funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security, paving the way for an end to a 75-day government shutdown.

The legislation includes the restoration of key federal agencies, including the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and is aimed at ending nearly 11 weeks of partial government closure. The approved bill has now been sent to President Donald Trump for signature, with expectations that he may sign it into law soon.

The development comes after weeks of internal divisions within the Republican Party. House Speaker Mike Johnson reportedly faced resistance from moderate members of his own party, forcing party leadership to step back from certain positions.

The bill was approved through a voice vote and does not include additional funding for federal immigration enforcement agencies, a move being viewed as a significant win for Democrats.

According to news agency reports, the primary objective of the legislation is to restore funding to Homeland Security agencies and ensure the full resumption of government operations.
