DHS funding clears Senate, heads to House with immigration provisions unresolved
TL;DR
The Senate voted to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security to end a partial shutdown and reduce airport security delays, but funding for ICE and Border Patrol is excluded for now; Republicans plan to address those agencies via reconciliation, while Democrats failed to secure immigration-restriction provisions. The House must pass the bill before it can be sent to the president.
