US House Passes Stopgap DHS Funding Bill After Republicans Reject Senate Deal

The US House of Representatives has passed a stopgap funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), following a disagreement with the Senate over the issue. The bill was approved by the House after Republicans rejected a proposed deal.

According to reports, the Senate had offered a compromise on DHS funding, but it was not accepted by House Republicans. As a result, the House has passed its own stopgap measure, which will provide temporary funding for DHS until further legislation can be enacted.

The partial US government shutdown, which began earlier this month, is expected to continue unless Congress can reach an agreement on a long-term funding solution. The Senate and House are currently at odds over the issue, with Democrats pushing for a more comprehensive deal and Republicans seeking to limit spending.

In related news, “No Kings” protests have been reported nationwide, with demonstrators calling for action on various issues, including immigration reform and border security.
