Trump, GOP Pull Off Brilliant Move After DHS Shutdown Breakthrough

President Donald Trump vowed to sign an executive order to “immediately” pay Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers amid the ongoing shutdown impacting the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

Hours later, Senate Democrats caved and helped pass a new, last-minute deal that brings Congress one step closer to ending the Homeland Security shutdown.

In the early hours of Friday morning, the Senate unanimously passed a deal to reopen most of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This was 42 days into the shutdown that was caused by the Trump administration’s immigration operations in Minnesota.
