The U.S. House of Representatives, led by Republicans, has passed bipartisan legislation to fund Homeland Security agencies, ending an 11-week partial shutdown. This move, decided by voice vote, now awaits the approval of President Donald Trump to become law.

The Republican-dominated U.S. House of Representatives has taken decisive action to end the prolonged partial shutdown affecting Homeland Security agencies. On Thursday, lawmakers across party lines approved a crucial funding bill.
