The US Senate passed a bill to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after the House GOP caved in on their opposition, bringing the 48-day shutdown one step closer to ending. The Senate's voice vote sends a bipartisan package to President Biden for his signature, which would provide funding to all but about $10 billion worth of DHS projects and personnel costs. The deal avoids significant cuts to key programs like border security and disaster response. The measure is expected to be signed into law by the President soon.
