WASHINGTON (AA) - The US House passed a package on Tuesday to end the partial government shutdown.
The lawmakers approved the funding bill by a vote of 217-214, sending it to President Donald Trump's desk for signature.
The shutdown, which began Saturday, left large swaths of the federal government and roughly 45% of the federal workforce in uncertainty amid a sharp dispute about the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, particularly in the state of Minnesota, affecting agencies, including the Pentagon, Treasury and the State, Transportation, Homeland Security, Labor, Education, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development.
