Senate Moves to End DHS Shutdown

The U.S. Senate, controlled by Republicans, plans to pass a bill on Thursday to end the ongoing shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has been in effect since February 14. The legislation aims to fund DHS operations through September 30.
Last week, the Senate unanimously approved the bill, setting up Thursday's expected passage. This legislative move comes as a significant step to restore DHS's full operational capacity, which has been partially stalled.
Before the legislation can take effect, it requires approval from the House of Representatives. If passed there, it will proceed to President Donald Trump for his signature to become law.
