On Tuesday, President Donald Trump signed an agreement to end a temporary government shutdown that technically began on Sunday. The primary holdup centered on funding for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, with Democrats calling for reforms to immigration enforcement tactics. Under the agreement, DHS is funded for just two weeks, meaning negotiations will continue longer-term funding. The remaining federal agencies included in the package were funded for the full fiscal year.
