DHS Shutdown Ends After Record 74-Day Funding Lapse
Congress ended the longest Department of Homeland Security shutdown in U.S. history after 74 days when President Trump signed a funding bill, resolving the budget impasse. The shutdown had raised concerns about Secret Service resources amid recent assassination attempts against Trump.
Historic Shutdown Resolved
The longest shutdown of a federal department in U.S. history came to an end on Thursday when President Trump signed a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security following a breakthrough on Capitol Hill.
Security Concerns During Shutdown
The federal policing force, along with many other agencies, has not been funded for 74 days amid the record-breaking Department of Homeland Security shutdown.
