The House voted on Thursday to fund most of the Department of Homeland Security, putting an end to a record shutdown of the agency that had been in place since February 14.
The Associated Press noted that the White House had warned that temporary funding used to pay Transportation Security Administration and other agency personnel was close to running out, potentially leading to new airport disruptions. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin had warned that thousands of workers were at risk of not being paid if funds ran out.
