The House of Representatives has passed a major spending package totaling over $76 billion, aiming to avert a government shutdown as the end-of-month deadline approaches. The package, which combines funding for the State Department, national security, and federal financial services, received broad bipartisan support and now moves to the Senate. However, funding for the Department of Homeland Security remains a contentious issue, with progressive lawmakers threatening to withhold support unless significant reforms to immigration enforcement are included, following a recent controversial shooting involving an immigration agent. Both parties have claimed victories in the legislation, which includes provisions for foreign aid, national security, and domestic government operations, but the debate over Homeland Security funding is expected to continue, possibly requiring a short-term funding extension.
