The United States Congress is preparing for a crucial vote in the House of Representatives to end the ongoing government shutdown. The shutdown began after negotiations over federal spending broke down, largely due to tensions surrounding immigration enforcement and recent incidents involving federal agents. The Senate has already passed a package that funds most federal agencies through September and includes a temporary measure to keep the Department of Homeland Security operating while further negotiations continue. Political pressure is mounting, with former President Trump urging lawmakers to pass the bill without changes, as some Republicans express concerns over the proposed immigration reforms.
