The U.S. government has officially entered a partial shutdown early Saturday morning after lawmakers passed an edited Federal Funding package. President Trump struck a last-minute deal to fund the majority of federal operations. However, the Senate is now locked in a debate over new limits on the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Newsweek reported that the Senate passed a massive $1.2 trillion funding package in a 71-29 vote. That bill keeps the vast majority of the federal government running smoothly through the end of September. That bill only got through because the White House agreed to temporarily separate DHS funding from the main package.
