House Republicans pass bill to end 75-day DHS shutdown

House Republicans Vote to End 75-Day DHS Shutdown

A vote was held in the House of Representatives, resulting in a majority of lawmakers supporting a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and end the record-breaking government shutdown. The measure passed with a significant number of Republican votes.

The shutdown, which began on December 22, 2022, lasted for 75 days, making it one of the longest in U.S. history. It was caused by disagreements between Democrats and Republicans over funding for various government agencies.

As part of the agreement, President Biden signed a bill into law to fund DHS and other affected agencies. The measure includes provisions to address some of the concerns raised during the shutdown, such as border security and immigration policies.

The vote marks an end to the prolonged standoff between lawmakers and brings an end to the record-breaking government shutdown.
