DHS Funding Ends Shutdown as ICE Funding Becomes Key, FISA Extension Granted
TL;DR Summary
The longest U.S. government shutdown ended after President Trump signed a House-passed bill funding most of the Department of Homeland Security, easing pay for DHS workers while ICE funding remains a point of contention. A 45-day extension of the FISA program was approved to buy time for reforms, and Congress moved to curb senators’ betting on prediction markets. In health news, the president withdrew Casey Means’s nomination for surgeon general and named Dr. Nicole Saphier as the replacement.
