"Congress Reaches Last-Minute Agreement to Avert Homeland Security Shutdown"

Congressional leaders have reached a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security through fiscal year 2024, avoiding a partial government shutdown. The agreement, which is still being finalized, will be a full-year bill rather than a stopgap measure. However, Congress may still need to pass a short-term continuing resolution before Friday's deadline to allow for sufficient review time. The deal comes after disagreements over DHS funding and involves negotiations on pay equity for the Transportation Security Administration and funding for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. If the deal holds and the remaining six funding bills are passed, it would be a win for Speaker Mike Johnson, who has aimed to avoid a year-end omnibus package and a one-percent cut across the board.
