The House on Thursday passed a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, effectively ending the partial government shutdown that began in February.
The funding bill's passage comes after more than a month of House Republican opposition to the plan, which advanced unanimously out of the Senate in late March. The White House had warned that emergency funding for DHS would run out as soon as Friday.
The bill wards off the potential for more missed paychecks to Transportation Security Administration agents, whose lack of pay earlier this year caused long lines at airports throughout the country.
