US House Passes Bill Extending Shutdown, Senate Set to Weigh In

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill extending the government shutdown, which began on December 22. The bill, which was introduced by House Republicans, aims to fund the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the remainder of the fiscal year.

According to reports, the bill has been met with skepticism from Democrats in the Senate, who have described it as “dead on arrival.” The Senate is expected to consider the bill later this week.

The DHS shutdown has lasted for several days, with many government services and programs affected by the lack of funding. The House bill aims to provide temporary funding for DHS until a longer-term solution can be reached.

Details of the bill are not yet available, but it is believed to include provisions related to border security and immigration enforcement.

The US government shutdown has been ongoing since December 22, with no clear end in sight. The situation remains fluid as lawmakers continue to negotiate and debate the issue.
