Lawmakers have unveiled a $1.2 trillion government funding package ahead of a looming shutdown deadline, with critical government operations needing funding by the end of the week. The package includes increased funding for Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security, as well as additional special immigrant visas for Afghans who helped the US. However, challenges remain in passing the legislation before the deadline, with concerns about a potential short-term lapse in government funding.
